Artificial Intelligence or Artificial Stupidity?

The concept of artificial intelligence (AI) can be traced back to pioneering researchers such as Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace, who developed early mechanical computers, laying the groundwork for what was to follow. Later, Alan Turing, followed by Isaac Asimov and Gene Roddenberry brought the concept of AI into the public consciousness. This combination of academic research alongside the cultural influence of Star Trek has given us two generations of researchers who realized that AI need not be confined to a sci-fi show or an academic paper but could be developed in reality.
