Knuth, to my knowledge, hasn't written anything on operating systems or
artificial intelligence.  (That doesn't mean, however, that others haven't 
directly applied his research to topics in those fields.)

Trivia Question:  Give the title, date, and journal name of Don Knuth's 
first publication.

"...I never promised to write about operating systems.  Therefore, I'm very 
happy whenever I get a journal in the mail, if most of its articles are about
operating systems."  D. Knuth
