Our Working Definition of AI
Artificial intelligence is the study of how to make computers do things that people are better at or would be better at if:
• they could extend what they do to a World Wide Web-sized amount of data, and
• not make mistakes.

We'll be able to send scanners inside the brain, tiny little scanners that are the size of blood cells, that will travel through the brain, through our capillaries, and actually scan the human brain from inside and build up a database that describes everything going on in the human brain. And that's a scenario that will be feasible within 25 years. (1999)

Why?
• Make life easier by creating artificial slaves.
For if every instrument could accomplish its own work, obeying or anticipating the will of others, like the statues of Daedalus, or the tripods of Hephaestus, which, says the poet, of their own accord entered the assembly of the Gods; if, in like manner, the shuttle would weave and the plectrum touch the lyre without a hand to guide them, chief workmen would not want servants, nor masters slaves.
