| Artificial intelligence: is the ability to recognize artificial systems, patterns and redundancies, to complete incomplete sequences, to re-formulate and solve problems, and to estimate probabilities. This is not an automation of human behavior, since such an automation could be a mechanical imitation. Rather, artificial systems are only used by humans to make decisions, when these systems have already made autonomous decisions._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

I 262 Artificial Intelligence/Weizenbaum: Problem: there are thoughts that no machine will ever understand, because they relate to goals that are not appropriate for machines. >Thinking, >World/Thinking, >Thought. I 269 Existence/Life/Human/World/Reality/Weizenbaum: Thesis: an organism is largely defined by the problems it faces.
