Bruce Wilcox,
an American computer scientist, AI-researcher and programmer, AGA 5-dan Go player, and computer Go pioneer [1], who has written a number of Go-playing programs, books and computer based learning programs [2]. He further worked and consulted for various video game companies on their game AI, today focusing on chatbots and natural language user interfaces [3]. He won the 2010 Loebner Prize for his chatbot Suzette [4], written in Wilcox's own open source engine ChatScript [5], he released to SourceForge [6]. In 2012, along with his wife Sue, he founded Brillig Understanding [7] with emphasis on natural language [8].

Computer Go

While affiliated with the University of Michigan in the 70s, Bruce Wilcox wrote the MTS/LISP interpreter in order to write a Go playing program co-authored by his advisor, Walter R. Reitman [10]. The program has been described both as the Reitman-Wilcox Go program [11] and the INTERIM.2 Go program [12]. After the research project was discontinued, Wilcox rewrote the INTERIM.2 program to produce the commercial Go program Nemesis [13] [14]. His further Go-playing programs were Ego [15], and RiscIgo [16].
