Abstract
Computers are not equipped with superhuman intelligence. The real essence of a computer society is in the information which the society realizes by utilizing the precision and high speed communication capabilities of computers. A. M. Turing recognized the difficulty of equipping computers with originality and the capacity for human intelligence, notwithstanding the possibility of training them for specific abilities by a pleasure-pain system. Statistical data processing aims at realizing efficient searches for the solutions to concrete problems. Such efforts constitute an intelligent use of computers. By the introduction of AIC the basic theoretical difficulty in the search for models has been eliminated and the increase in the speed and capacity of computers can now be effectively utilized for statistical data processing. It is hoped that statistics will eventually occupy a secure position within the culture of the future.
