AI
(AI) The subfield of computer
science concerned with the concepts and methods of symbolic
inference by computer and symbolic knowledge representation
for use in making inferences. AI can be seen as an attempt to
model aspects of human thought on computers. It is also
sometimes defined as trying to solve by computer any problem
that a human can solve faster. The term was coined by
Stanford Professor John McCarthy, a leading AI researcher.
Examples of AI problems are computer vision (building a
system that can understand images as well as a human) and
natural language processing (building a system that can
understand and speak a human language as well as a human).
These may appear to be modular, but all attempts so far (1993)
to solve them have foundered on the amount of context
information and "intelligence" they seem to require.
The term is often used as a selling point, e.g. to describe
programming that drives the behaviour of computer characters
in a game. This is often no more intelligent than "Kill any
humans you see; keep walking; avoid solid objects; duck if a
human with a gun can see you".

Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary:
Ai
ruins. (1.) One of the royal cities of the Canaanites (Josh.
10:1; Gen. 12:8; 13:3). It was the scene of Joshua's defeat, and
afterwards of his victory. It was the second Canaanite city
taken by Israel (Josh. 7:2-5; 8:1-29). It lay rebuilt and
inhibited by the Benjamites (Ezra 2:28; Neh. 7:32; 11:31). It
lay to the east of Bethel, "beside Beth-aven." The spot which is
most probably the site of this ancient city is Haiyan, 2 miles
east from Bethel. It lay up the Wady Suweinit, a steep, rugged
valley, extending from the Jordan valley to Bethel.
(2.) A city in the Ammonite territory (Jer. 49:3). Some have
thought that the proper reading of the word is Ar (Isa. 15:1).
Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's):
Ai, or Hai, mass; heap
Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856):
AIR. That fluid transparent substance which surrounds our globe.
2. No property can be had in the air it belongs equally to all men,
being indispensable to their existence. To poison or materially to change
the air, to the annoyance of the public, is a nuisance. Cro. Cr. 610; 2 Ld.
Raym 1163; I Burr. 333; 1 Str. 686 Hawk. B. 1, c. 75, s. 10; Dane's Ab.
Index h.t. But this must be understood with this qualification, that no one
has a right to use the air over another man's land, in such a manner as to
be injurious to him. See 4 Campb. 219; Bowy. Mod. Civ. Law, 62; 4 Bouv.
Inst. n. 36 1; Grot. Droit de la Guerre et de la Paix, liv. 2, c. 2, Sec. 3,
note, 3 et 4.
3. It is the right of the proprietor of an estate to enjoy the light
and air that will come to him, and, in general, no one has a right to
deprive him of them; but sometimes in building, a man opens windows over his
neighbor's ground, and the latter, desirous of building on his own ground,
necessarily stops the windows already built, and deprives the first builder
of light and air; this he has the right to do, unless the windows are
ancient lights, (q.v.) or the proprietor has acquired a right by grant or
prescription to have such windows open. See Crabb on R. P. Sec. 444 to 479
and Plan. Vide Nuisance.
