Abstract

This paper discusses implementations of  Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies  over the World Wide Web. The  implementations include a pilot agent  with natural language processing and  rule-based AI that recommends IBM  products, a planning agent that can be  used by dispersed Army Small Units, and a  learning apprentice for the Web that can  help users to locate desired Web sites. The 
potential for the use of the AI technology,  in light of the latest development in  Internet and Web 2.0 technologies, is high  for both corporations and every day users.
