Artificial intelligence: is the ability of artificial systems, to recognize patterns and redundancies, to replenish incomplete sequences, to re-formulate and solve problems, and to estimate probabilities. This is not an automation of human behavior. Rather, artificial systems are only used by humans to make decisions, when these systems have already made autonomous decisions. See also artificial consciousness, intelligence, consciousness.

Hilary Putnam on Artificial Intelligence - Dictionary of Arguments

Putnam III 16 (Foreword)
Artificial Intelligence/Putnam: calculating an irrational number always means to calculate a real number. The final statement of the computer, which calculation was carried out is not to be considered even for a known program. Hence, the computer has no consciousness.
>Artificial consciousness

III 23
For example, it is difficult for artificial intelligence to recognize why pinkish people are called "white", e.g. how things are grouped into families that do not all have one thing in common.
Artificial Intelligence/AI/Putnam: the task of artificial intelligence is not to copy intelligence, but to simulate it.
>Simulation, >Turing test, >Intelligence.
