It is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. Q. A. Q. A. Q. A. Q. A. Q. A. However, some of the problems on IQ tests are useful challenges for AI. Q. Arthur R. Whether or not Jensen is right about human intelligence, the situation in AI today is the reverse. Computer programs have plenty of speed and memory but their abilities correspond to the intellectual mechanisms that program designers understand well enough to put in programs. Whenever people do better than computers on some task or computers use a lot of computation to do as well as people, this demonstrates that the program designers lack understanding of the intellectual mechanisms required to do the task efficiently.
