Ask HN: What is your definition of Artificial Intelligence

3 points by sundeep ↗ HN
I'd be very interested in what your personal definitions for AI are ..

To me , intelligence is coming up with your own algorithm for solving a previously unseen problem.

Therefore,my (admittedly naive) definition of AI is : Software that behaves satisfactorily under (previously) unseen conditions ..

I agree with Minsky -- "anything computers can't do yet" ;-)
bare essentials:

uses memory to create hypothesis about situations

experiments using hypothesis

augments memory with results

loop

I know it when I see it.
