   I beleive that the basis of intelligence is defined as
   the ability to servive and adapt to the changing environment,
   I heard this on some science show I think :-) .

   Websters defines intelligence as : 1. intellect, understanding;
   2. quickness of understanding, sagacity, (of person or animal);

   So I guess if you put the two together you can come up with
   a reasonable understanding of intelligence; and then artificial
   intelligence (Being intelligence artificially created, not
   naturally).

   In conclusion, AI would be achieved if a non-natural organism
   or entity displayed the ability to learn and understand as its
   environment changed.  The more intelligent, the greater the odds
   of survival.

   I hope I have touched on the basis of AI, and have served some
   aid in its understanding.  If anyone has any views for or against
   anything I have said, please don't turn to flames; think, and
   then correct my errs or pat me on the back :-) .
