"This rare episode of CBS’s Tomorrow series, produced to commemorate MIT’s 100th anniversary (1861–1961), explores the early days of artificial intelligence, robotics, and the potential of “thinking machines.” Hosted by actor David Wayne, this documentary-style special features interviews with pioneering computer scientists, including MIT President Jerome B. Wiesner and AI visionary Oliver G. Selfridge of MIT Lincoln Laboratory."
