This paper presents the findings of my research in artificial intelligence applications for system dynamics. The sudden appearance of microcomputers in homes, schools, and businesses has opened an opportunity for dissemination of system dynamics to a wider audience than we could have ever hope to reach with the earlier computer technologies. This opportunity should not be lost by clinging to obsolete, or soon to be obsolete, technologies. User-friendly micro-based software should be immediately available to those individuals, schools, and corporations who are interested in systems thinking. The demand for such systems far surpasses the current supply. Artificial Intelligence software is now available for microcomputers. This new software development can significantly improve current and future systems for the novice and the experienced system dynamicist.
