As a result of Engelbart's 1962 report, Augmenting Human Intellect, J. C. R. Licklider, the first director of the US Defense Department's Advanced Research Project Agency Information Processing Techniques Office (IPTO), funded Douglas Engelbart's Augmentation Research Center at Stanford Research Institute in early 1963.
Augmentation is both easy and hard. If we want systems to know what we know and act on our behalf without intervention and to be perfect in executing our wishes, that is hard. It has been one of the goals of artificial intelligence research for the last 30 years.
In the Augmented Human Intellect (AHI) Research Center at Stanford Research Institute a group of researchers is developing an experimental laboratory around an interactive, multi-console computer-display system, and is working to learn the principles by which interactive computer aids can augment their intellectual capability. 2a
