Abstract
To be able to communicate in ordinary English, a machine must have access to common sense information about the real world. The first computer systems to attempt such communication lived in very limited worlds. Now, with a “second generation” of programs, those worlds are widening, although the exact significance of the recent advances is still in dispute.
