START's reply ===> What is AI Artificial Intelligence is the study of the computations that make it possible to perceive, reason and act. From the perspective of this definition, artificial intelligence differs from most of psychology because of the greater emphasis on computation, and artificial intelligence differs from most of computer science because of the emphasis on perception, reasoning and action. The central goal of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory is to develop a computational theory of intelligence extending from the manifestation of behavior to operations at the neural level. Current work focuses especially on understanding the role of vision, language, and motor computation in general intelligence.
