No I'm not.  I wonder where you got that idea. I'm sure that I've
never said "decision support" and doubt that I've used that other
phrase.

But even funnier:  I explored that  web page
(http://demo.cs.brandeis.edu/) and found no occurrences whatever of 
the term "artificial intelligence".   I did find expressions like 
"agent cognition using complex machine organizations".

Who is 'shying away' from what?

Marvin Minsky
