Artificial intelligence (AI) (WIP)

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science which aims to create it. The field of AI programing is defined as "the study and design of intelligent agents," where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions which maximize its chances of success.

Artificial intelligence (or computer intelligence) is a term used in the fields of cybernetics, computer science, and related disciplines, to describe computer hardware and software sophisticated enough to reason independently, form new conclusions, and alter its own responses.

The question of whether machines can achieve the capacity for self-awareness or emotional feeling (sentience) remains controversial.
