From: David Rogers <DRogers@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA>
I would like to clarify my recent comments on the disclaimer published
with the conference announcement for the "Intelligent Systems and Machines"
conference to be given at Oakland University. I did not mean to suggest
that the organizers of this particular conference are the targets of my
criticism; indeed, I congratulate them for informing potential attendees
of their obligations under the law. I sincerely apologize for not making
this obvious in my original note.
I also realize that most conferences will have to deal with this issue
in the future, and meant my message not as a "call to action", but rather,
as a "call to discussion" of the proper role of goverment in AI and science
in general. I believe that we should follow these rules, but should
also participate in informed discussion of their long-range effect and
direction.
Apologies and regards,
David Rogers
