Connectionists: short Op-ed to address AI problems

[Baldi,Pierre]

I would appreciate feedback from this group,especially dissenting 
feedback,  on the attached Op-ed. You can send it to my personal email 
which you can find on my university web site if you prefer. The basic 
idea is simple:

IF for scientific, security, or other societal reasons we want academics 
to develop and study the most advanced forms of AI, I can see only one 
solution:  create  a national or international effort around the largest 
data/computing center on Earth with a CERN-like structure comprising 
permanent staff, and 1000s of affiliated academic laboratories. There 
are many obstacles, but none is completely insurmountable if we wanted to.

Thank you.

Pierre
