Dear faculty and students,

On August 30th, AI lunch will be held at noon in *GHC 6115*, not NSH 1507,
as previously planned.

As I described in the previous announcement, Andrew Moore will present a
talk titled "Explaining AI at CMU to the rest of the world."

*Abstract: *Within CMU and SCS we are very confident that we are helping
lead the world in AI and other forms of advanced computer science /
statistics / optimization / game theory to make the world a much better,
funner and safer place. This is a direct legacy from two of the four
founders of AI: Newell and Simon.

How do we explain what's going on right now in a way that is interesting
and compelling? How do we explain it in different contexts? With a lot of
help from Manuela, Martial, Jaime and others I have a story assembled which
I've been using to try to spread the word. I need feedback on it and ideas
for which audiences need it tweaked in which direction. I would like to
spend 30 mins giving the pitch and then spend 30 mins discussing how to
improve it, and also, of course, whether it might have useful content for
the other CMU-AI folks to use when needed.

Best,
Ellen and Ariel
