While a possible long-term goal of AI research is to simulate/replicate
human intelligent behavior, most AI goals are toward machines which perform
specific difficult ("intelligent") functions.  While it is now well understood
that the fundamental key to general intelligence is representation of
knowledge, practical short term goals of object recognition can be met
through feature recognition.
