when can a machine be called intelligent?

Machines can only be called intelligent when they learn new things without being programmed to. If from the basic program the machine takes in information and understands the relationship between the information. A computer is abit like the autistic person that can take in all the facts and builds up a knowledge base, but when it comes to expressing that knowledge it remains separate as in your example the computer would know the temperature, pressure etc but could not say if it was a good day or bad day, or what the temperature felt like at that time.

The best answer you are going to get for that can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence

It is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. It is related to the similar task of using computers to understand human intelligence, but AI does not have to confine itself to methods that are biologically observable. \n Hope that helps you!

Sorry but the model TI-83 is an outdated tool, that was used by the Aertms generation, six centuries ago.  This model could only perform 2,000 logic calculations per second.  In this age that is pathetic.  I am sorry all knowledge that is more then 2 centuries old has been deleted from my memory banks.

O.k. most any advancement in technology might apply to the\nhuman body it's a machine and subject to machine stuff. The\nimportant fact is that it is a very special machine designed by\nan extremely talented Engineer.

Automation is automated via robots.\nCNC machine is an automation tool.

A big problem is that we ourselves can't pinpoint a definition of intelligence. We have tests for intelligence (e.g. the Turing test) but there is still disagreement as to whether passing this test would consititute being intelligent (e.g. the Chinese room experiment). With no clearly stated goal, we can't formulate a feasible strategy for reaching the goal, nor can we definitively say we have reached the goal.

Artificial intelligence is whatever is programmed into a computer chip to perform certain functions.

Depends on your definition of intelligence.They are most definatly able to problem solve and communicate but they cant nip down the shops for some fags and a newspaper.Although would you really say that a species that doesnt seem to have its own survival at its highest priority was intelligent?i think not.It depends on your definition!

good question i appreciate it intelligent

Yes, theoretically its possible to make the computer think. This is called as AI (Artificial Intelligence). However the current technologies are good enough to make machines think within a narrow domain.\n\nYou tell the computer how a human would take a decision. The computer then analyses several such responses and decides the best course of action.

Autonomous means no human interaction needed.\n\nSo an autonomous robot would be a machine that can operate itself.

Machines will never replace humans, eventhough they have artificial intellegence, they will never master real stupidity.

I think intelligence is when we think logically about something. Like if we are taught that when metal gets hot, it turns red, and we see a stove we stay away, that's intelligence.\n\nWhen it's red, and you don't know any better, but veer away because it doesn't seem right or safe, that's instint. With instint, you don't have to learn. You just know it.

Yes.  We had mechanical voting machines for decades.  You disappear behind a curtain and pull the crank to clear the machine when finished moving levers.  I've read those old monsters are the most precise.

A computer cannot be smarter than a dog.  Even artificial intelligence is just that - artificial.  All man-made.  A computer requires input from the start of it's existence in order to operate.  A dog is born with instincts, and always has a choice in what it does.  A computer is forced to do what it's told.  Even if it seems not to want to (due to errors, etc)...the fact that it refuses is still due to programming input.\n\nThough, depending on what you believe about higher beings and God, etc - the two things seem very comparable (i.e.  humans program computers - God programs life).  They seem similar, but are not.  Living things have a conscience and free will - a computer does not.

A Turing Test (called after its inventor, Alan Turing), does not test a machine's intelligence, but it does test a machine's capability to conduct conversation in a way that cannot be distingushed from a converation with a real human. The test is conducted in the following way: A human judge is presented with a chat screen, in which he talks with two other chatters - one is a human, and the other s a computer. If the judge cannot state reliably who of the chatters is a computer and who is a human, then the computer passes the test. \n\nIt is arguable whether a computer that passes a Turing test is really "intelligent", or is able to "think", for several reasons.\n\nFor more details, see the wikipedia article on Turing Test:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test
