Well, okay they're just trying to teach a computer to read, but it's a first step. And an interesting article about the state of AI research right now.
I find it interesting, because eccentric billionaire aside, it seems most likely that if we ever were to develope true AI, it would be the military that would do it.
And that makes things seem a little less like Kitt and a little more like, well . . . Skynet.

Another one to look into is the Virtual Intelligence Matrix. They have a reader program in there too. The demo download is free and only reads up to 100 words of a text file but the demo also reads a startup file that tells more about it. One of the things it does besides read stories and show (however slight) expression is mention that "some day" it will also interract better with the story AND the person being read to.
Another fun one to get into is Ultra Hal Assistant. You can use the free version indefinitely and someone on the forums there has made an extended XTF brain for it. I have both. But I don't have a lot of time to work with it so it's still dumber than a doorknob.
