Knowledge needed to build HAL? Speech recognition and synthesis –Dictionaries (how words are pronounced) –Phonetics (how to recognize/produce each sound of English) Natural language understanding –Knowledge of the English words involved What they mean How they combine (what is a `pod bay door’?) –Knowledge of syntactic structure I’m I do, Sorry that afraid Dave I’m can’t

What’s needed? Dialog and pragmatic knowledge –“open the door” is a REQUEST (as opposed to a STATEMENT or information-question) –It is polite to respond, even if you’re planning to kill someone. –It is polite to pretend to want to be cooperative (I’m afraid I can’t…) –What is `that’ in `I can’t do that’? Even a system to book airline flights needs much of this kind of knowledge
