Artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence (commonly abbreviated as AI) was defined as "The science of making machines do things that would require intelligence if done by humans" by Marvin Minsky in 1968. To date, much of the work in this field has been done with computer simulations of intelligence based on predefined sets of rules. Two popular AI languages are LISP and Prolog (a logical programming language).

A seminal work in the concept of computer intelligence is "On Computing Machinery and Intelligence" (1950), by Alan Turing. See Turing Test for further discussion.

The Loebner Prize competition has been claimed to be "the first formal instantiation of the Turing Test."
