	abstract =	{This opinion article presents a view of the scope for
	artificial intelligence in information retrieval. It considers four
	potential roles for AI in IR, evaluating AI from a realistic point of
	view and within a wide information management context. The conclusion
	is that AI has limited potential, not just because AI is itself
	insufficiently developed, but because many information management tasks
	are properly shallow information processing ones. There is nevertheless
	an important place for specific applications of AI or AI-derived
	technology when particular constraints can be placed on the
	information management tasks involved.},
