11 December 2019 - Alan Bundy Title The Lighthill Report on Artificial Intelligence. Abstract In 1973 the Science Research Council (predecessor of EPSRC) invited Sir James Lighthill, an applied mathematician from Cambridge University, to prepare a report on the state of Artificial Intelligence. The resulting report was very controversial and extremely negative. It led to a drastic reduction in funding for AI, not just in the UK, but across the World - the, so called, AI Winter. I had just come to Edinburgh in 1971 so, as a young AI researcher, I have vivid memories of this period. At the request of Jacques Fleuriot, I will give a personal account of it.
