Oral history interview with Edward Feigenbaum, 1989 Mar. 3.

Feigenbaum begins the interview with a description of his initial recruitment by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) in 1964 to work on a time-sharing system at Berkeley and his subsequent move to Stanford in 1965 to continue to do ARPA-sponsored research in artificial intelligence (AI). The bulk of the interview is concerned with his work on AI at Stanford from 1965 to the early 1970s and his impression of the general working relationship between the Information Processing Techniques Office (IPTO) at ARPA and the researchers at Stanford. He discusses how this relationship changed over time under the various IPTO directorships and the resulting impact it had on their AI research.
