It seems rather ironical for a site dedicated to the field of Artificial Intelligence not to have even the simplest definition. So here it is: an essay about the branches, approaches and applications of A.I. As a consequence, it is also a partial list of the content you can expect from this site.

You can find the feature on this page:

Definition: The Field of Artificial Intelligence.

Comments welcome!

A good article. Ideal for us "newbies" who need to get started somewhere! Keep up the good work Alex :-)

Mr Peake! So YOU're the one who read the essay... I couldn't figure out who it was in my web logs ;)

I also read and enjoyed your article. Thank you.

I have nothing to say, except: this site is fucking great

Nice work, Alex.
I've been curious how we might write algorythms, say in C++ to
explain some kinds of insane intelligences, like the paranoid
schitzophrenia of HAL in "2001" or the berserker mentality of the
Arnie robot in "Terminator".
Thanks, Jim of the Technological Trickster
