What is Artificial Intelligence?
"Artificial intelligence refers to the branch of computer science that is focused on giving computers human intelligence. Upon hearing the term, most people think of HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey, or maybe the character David from the movie A.I. Artificial Intelligence. The truth is that those forms of AI are still a long way off."
