A.I.

A.I. = Artificial Intelligence (OK, so you already knew that.)

"Wilson" defeated the champion humans on "Jeopardy"... quite an accomplishment; not for Wilson, but for the programmers. But is Wilson intelligent? That depends on how you define intelligence. I do not think that "Jeopardy" is a test of intelligence. It's a test of how much data you have been able to cram into your cranium and then able to regurgitate it on demand.
Wilson excels at that process and will definitely be a terrific tool in a number of fields including medicine.
A better test of intelligence would be a "problem-solving" competition. "Brainteasers" would require lateral thinking and problem solving skills as opposed to memory.

Eg. An area consisting of the sum of 2 squares is 1000. The side of 1 square is 10 less than 2/3 the side of the other square. What are the sides of the 2 squares?
