What Is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial intelligence learning capabilities were recently covered in a TV show I watched about technological advancements which posed the question what the future might hold for us.

I’ve always found this area of artificial intelligence quite interesting way back from when I was just a kid playing electronic games, watching the Wargames movie and programming robotic toys. Once I started playing with computers and inevitably games, which brought with them some basic artificial intelligence which depending on the game could either be very easy or very hard to beat – the classic, timeless games are typically the ones which had a good balance which in turn equalled, good gameplay!

Lego Johnny 5 – Short Circuit

When I was kid, I used to love building stuff with Lego – it was brilliant!

These days you can still get the standard Lego, but you can also get robotic kits that can be programmed with your computer – in a way I’m glad that this wasn’t around when I was younger, since I would never have been able to afford to buy them anyway.
