t is, after all, only eight years
since we began.
:01:51
Not a long time.
:01:53
But the secrecy...
:01:55
...the shroud of paranoid security
to which we've had to adjust...
:01:59
...have made it seem longer.
:02:04
This morning, at exactly 5:18 a. m...
:02:07
...here at ICON's Institute
for Data Analysis...
:02:11
...we installed the final module...
:02:14
...on the artificial intelligence system
which we call Proteus Four.
:02:18
Today a new dimension has been added
to the concept of the computer.
:02:22
Today Proteus Four will begin to think.
:02:26
And it will think
with a power and a precision...
:02:29
...that will make obsolete many
of the functions of the human brain.
:02:33
Okay, Peggy. End of notes for the next
meeting of the ICON executive committee.
