An intersting book to read on the matter of "artifcial intelligence" is:

Final Jeopardy : man vs. machine and the quest to know everything
by Stephen Baker

It recounts the story behind the creation of "Watson", the IBM computer project to build a computer system to compete aginst the very top players on the U.S. televison quiz show "Jeopardy". The challenges faced by the IBM team to build the software/hardware is indeed very telling in how far we really are from creating a truly "intelligent" coumpter...

Oh, btw, "Watson" won the tournament...

(Excuse me, Skynet is calling...)
