Artificial Intelligence Recognition Question:

There are two goals to AI, the biggest one is to produce an artificial system that is about as good as or better than a human being at dealing with the real world. The second goal is more modest: simply produce small programs that are more or less as good as human beings at doing small specialized tasks that require intelligence. To many AI researchers simply doing these tasks that in human beings require intelligence counts as Artificial Intelligence even if the program gets its results by some means that does not show any intelligence, thus much of AI can be regarded as "advanced programming techniques".
