Re: Novel research in Artificial Intelligence?

Hi. I'm a freelancing science journalist preparing an article about
the most recent development in Artificial Intelligence. My starting
point will be the hopes in the early days of AI-research and a
follow-up on the state-of-the-art AI research done today. One central
question is, if there is (or will be in the near future) a machine that
will pass the "Turing test". This is a hotly debated issue and I
will try to steer clear of the more sophisticated philosophical
problems raised.

So what I need to know is: Where can find research in the forefront and
are there key persons in the field that might be useful to talk to?

All hints and tips appreciated
