Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence exhibited by machines.
It is also the name of the academic field of study which studies how to create computers and computer software that are capable of intelligent behavior.
Major AI researchers and textbooks define this field as "the study and design of intelligent agents", in which an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success.
John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1955, defines it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines".
Some subfields focus on the solution of specific problems. Others focus on one of several possible approaches or on the use of a particular tool or towards the accomplishment of particular applications.
Artificial intelligence has been the subject of tremendous optimism.
- But AI has also suffered stunning setbacks.
Artificial intelligence has been the subject of fear (see, for example: HAL 9000, Y2K, The Matrix).
- But these fears are not matched by actual experience.
In the News

The Orgasmatron from Sleeper by Woody Allen may be useful as a model of artificial hedonism.
HAL 9000 kills passengers, crew, says it "has good reasons".
