Do they think they're the first people to see emergent behaviour in an AI algorithm? Hell, even your simplest neural network gives you emergent behaviour from the interaction of the "neurons".

In addition, the whole premise of "fuzzy logic" is that computers *could* be designed to take action based on uncertainty and grey areas. It's only been around for 20-some years...

The article was written by a moron. The researchers are doing interesting work, and that work has *nothing* to do with whether the brain is a "digital computer".
