You can emulate the Victor 9000 / Act Sirius 1 computer he talks about in the article with mame. There's a lot of software on the internet archive or this machine. It's quite interesting to look at the hardware level how many differences there are in the design decisions compared to an IBM PC.

Go to a modern hospital emergency room, it's a cacophony of devices all vying for attention. I walked down the hallway and realized every room in the place had a different audible alarm—all active! I suspected the device manufacturers were all worried about liability for their device, making sure to notify that a patient had a problem. The end result for the medical staff was an endless chaos of noise. Complete systemic failure of UX from a practical standpoint.

The poster's looking for articles, so this recommendation's a bit off the mark. I learned more from participating in a few Kaggle competitions (https://www.kaggle.com/competitions) than I did from reading about AI. Many folks in the community shared their homework, and by learning how to follow their explanations I developed a much more intuitive understanding of the technology. The first competition had a steep learning curve. I felt it was worth it. The application of having a specific goal and the provided datasets made the problem space more tractable.
