What is Artificial Intelligence?

Jason asked:


Has anyone seen the movie or read the book: 2001: A Space Odyssey. I was wondering when computer science and engineering will be able to produce such an advanced piece of artificial intelligence that Hal was. When will we be able to invent an Artificial Intelligence that is almost as belivable as a human?

Hello, does anybody know a kind of new technology that can enable the instant transfer of the massive amount of energy to a distant location through something in the space, at the speed of light, and could be potentially used for trans-continental power transfer as well as missle defense and other technology, it is listed with other technology such as bubble sort memory, immortality and artificial intelligence in one of the page in wikipedia, if possible, could somebody show me that page

Ok, I need the name of this book. It's about an academy for genius children. When the main character of the story gets to the academy, he discovers the administrators at the academy are conduction artificial intelligence experiments on the children. They are taking the brains of the children and connecting them to a computer. They cover their tracks by making it look like the children commit suicide. I hope someone else has read this book and can get enough out of my description to help.
