Defined in 1968? as 'The science of making machines do things that would require intelligence if done by humans' by Marvin Minsky. To date, much of the work in this field has been done with computer simulations of intelligence based on predefined sets of rules. Two popular AI languages are LISP and Prolog a logical programming language.

In 1950?, Alan Turing published his famous Turing Test article, "[Computing Machinery and Intelligence]" (Mind, Vol 59, No 236, pp 433-460). The Turing Test is designed to determine if a computer program possesses intelligence by having a human judge determine through any means of questioning whether they are communicating with another human, or in fact, with a computer. If the computer can fool the human judge by a significant margin, then the computer program should be deemed intelligent. While many computer programs can be considered experts in specialized fields, on a broad scale, computers have yet to pass the Turing Test.
