The exhibit examines MIT's role in AI by tracing the evolution of research in this field, presenting new developments and technologies, illustrating current and planned applications for these technologies, and speculating about the future of AI and its impact on our lives. It will also be the model for a traveling exhibition that the Museum will launch in 2002. At least three million New Englanders will soon be seeing Compaq signage at Boston's Fleet Center, home of the Boston Bruins hockey team, the Boston Celtics basketball team, and dozens of major events, including Disney on Ice, Barnum and Bailey Circus and the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. Each month 10 Compaq employees are selected in a drawing to win a birthday party for their child or a friend's child. Children with summer birthdays win tickets to Fenway Park, and those with winter birthdays win tickets to the Bruins at the Fleet Center.
Winners receive other goodies, depending on the venue.
