Artificial IntelliGence


Artificial Intelligence - the word is synonymous with science fiction movies and books, and the whole concept was probably born in the mind of a writer at some point in time.

It's a subject that has - since around the 20th century - enjoyed more and more attention - even if most of it was in the minds of those who dreamed it up, and those who had fairly active imaginations.

That is for the most part - however - where it remained. It was a concept, a far flung idea that bordered on the edge of imagination and possibility. Personally, I believe Artificial Intelligence will largely remain that - artificial - no matter how advanced it may become.

What separates human beings from computers - from machines - is the human spirit. Having said that, one cannot help but wonder how far A.I. will develop, and what will be it's limitations? Will it even have limitations?
