@ranjodhd @leifweatherby @nescioquid .@leifweatherby might be thinking of Ted Chiang's recent quote in the FT: https://t.co/ano5p799eF . In "How Data Happened" we recount McCarthy's 1973 "I invented [the term] because...we were trying to get money...aimed at the long term goal of achieving human-level intelligence"

[Douglas André Welton @einsteinslegacy]

If only John McCarthy had called it “Applied Statistics"
