For nearly than half a century, the consensus on what makes a machine intelligent has eluded the computer science field, and it's not getting any easier with more time and new technology.

Intel gives us a humorous peek at a surprisingly plausible future of robotics with its "Lunch Room" ad.

The Daily Galaxy takes up preaching the gospel of the Singularity to its fans while dodging the sketchy history and problematic future of the concept.

In order to make their cinematic universe work, the creators of The Matrix had to make their robots invulnerable. In reality, they wouldn't have won the war against humans.

Defining and measuring intelligence is very difficult. It will be even more difficult if that intelligence is artificial.

Turns out, insects have basic forms of intelligence and the path to thinking robots may be through emulating how their tiny minds work.

Researchers are scanning extremely thin slices of human brains to build up the most detailed map of our minds ever created. And that map may have some weird implications.

While Singularitarians are focused on creating a friendly AI, the first real world artificial intelligence systems are likely to be as unfriendly as possible by design...

The idea that simulating a brain in a computer will yield an intelligent being has become an unshakeable belief amongst Singularitarians.

Researchers at IBM seem to believe that simulating the background activity of the brain will create a conscious, self-aware mind.

Finally, there's a skeptical expert voice addressing the panic about our potential AI overlords.

UK academics want to know if a sufficiently advanced robot goes on a killing spree should also stand trial for its crimes.

Let's review the seminal paper which gave rise to the idea that enough computers reading enough data at the right speed will eventually create a super-intelligent entity.

Its extremely unlikely that Terminator's Skynet, or a system like it, would become a reality. At least not on purpose...

Intelligence seems to be an emergent property. But it doesn't emerge from processing speed or ability to store a certain amount of data...
