Abstract
In this paper, I discuss the role played by scientific establishments in the development of a particular scientific specialty (1), Artificial Intelligence (AI), a computer-related area which takes as its broad aim, the construction of computer programs that model aspects of intelligent behaviour. As with any discussion of a scientific specialty, the identification of what is involved is not unproblematic, and the above serves as an indication rather than a definition. While the term 'Artificial Intelligence' is used in a variety of ways (2), there is a discernable group (perhaps approaching the degree of commonality to be called a community) of researchers who recognize the term as descriptive of a certain sort of work, and who, if they themselves are not willing to be directly labelled by the term, can locate themselves with respect to it.
