The trouble with the word artificial intelligence is the word intelligence. It misleads -- people conjure up images of thinking machines, Stephen Spielberg; Arnold Schwarzenegger coming back from the future and saying: "I'll be back." Who knows what the future may bring, but for now, and for all intents and purposes, people may be confusing intelligence and sentience. Neither are well defined -- we are supposedly sentient, machines are not, and for all we know, may never be. Intelligence means "the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills".
