AI DEFINED: Artificial Intelligence is "the ability of a digital computer or computer-controlled robot to perform tasks commonly associated with intelligent beings. The term is frequently applied to the project of developing systems endowed with the intellectual processes characteristic of humans, such as the ability to reason, discover meaning, generalize, or learn from past experience."

-B.J. Copeland, professor of philosophy, University of Canterbury; director, Turing Archive for the History of Computing; writing for the Encyclopedia Britannica.
