Is SIAI currently working on any tangible applications of AI (such as machine translation, automatic driving, or medical expert systems) ? If so, how does SIAI's approach to solving the problem differ from that of other organizations (such as Google or IBM) who are (presumably) not as concerned about FAI ? If SIAI is not working on such applications, why not ?
