The Lighthill Report

British mathematician James Lighthill published a devastating critique of AI research, concluding that the field had failed to deliver on its promises. 'In no part of the field have the discoveries made so far produced the major impact that was then promised.' The report led to massive funding cuts for AI research in the UK.
