Whether the field of AI will ultimately build a machine that is "smarter" than the average human is a matter of debate.  I certainly feel that the nearer term goals of making systems that are improved with respect to adaptiveness, reactiveness, autonomousness and complexity and worth pursuing in the meantime.

I think we need to rethink the list of subfields. For one thing, I'm not sure that "exprt systems" really designates a subfield of AI, but is more of a marketing/businees term. In addition, it's not at all clear why both connectionism and ANN are on the list. I'll go ahead and edit/expand it a bit. [[User:Greg Woodhouse|Greg Woodhouse]] 15:40, 26 May 2007 (CDT)

I have specifically avoided a discussion on the notions of "strong" AI and "weak" AI. These categories have been used by some to denote the ultimate goals of the AI community.

Subfields

I think we need to rethink the list of subfields. For one thing, I'm not sure that "exprt systems" really designates a subfield of AI, but is more of a marketing/businees term. In addition, it's not at all clear why both connectionism and ANN are on the list. I'll go ahead and edit/expand it a bit. Greg Woodhouse 15:40, 26 May 2007 (CDT)
