t is, after all, only eight yearssince we began.
:01:51
Not a long time.
:01:53
But the secrecy...
:01:55
...the shroud of paranoid securityto which we've had to adjust...
:01:59
...have made it seem longer.

This morning, at exactly 5:18 a. m...
:02:07
...here at ICON's Institutefor Data Analysis...
:02:11
...we installed the final module...
:02:14
...on the artificial intelligence systemwhich we call Proteus Four.
:02:18
Today a new dimension has been addedto the concept of the computer.
:02:22
Today Proteus Four will begin to think.
:02:26
And it will thinkwith a power and a precision...
:02:29
...that will make obsolete manyof the functions of the human brain.

Okay, Peggy. End of notes for the nextmeeting of the ICON executive committee.
