  abstract =	 {Sociologists have begun to explore the gains for
                  theory and research that might be achieved by
                  artificial intelligence technology: symbolic
                  processors, expert systems, neural networks, genetic
                  algorithms, and classifier systems. The first major
                  accomplishments of artifical social intelligence
                  (ASI) have been in the realm of theory, where these
                  techniques have inspired new theories as well as
                  helping to render existing theories more
                  rigorous. Two application areas for which ASI holds
                  great promise are the sociological analysis of
                  written texts and data retrieval from the
                  forthcoming Global Information Infrastructure. ASI
                  has already been applied to some kinds of
                  statistical analysis, but how competitive it will be
                  with more conventional techiques remains unclear. To
                  take advantage of the opporunities offere by ADI,
                  sociologists will have to become more computer
                  literate and will have to reconsider the place of
                  programming and computer science in the sociological
                  curriculum. ADI may be a revolutionary approach with
                  the potential to rescue sociology from the doldrums
                  unto which some observersbelieve it has fallen},
