Wiki identifies the (non-artificial) base: *For other uses, see Intelligence (disambiguation) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_(disambiguation)>.*
*Intelligence has been defined in many different ways such as in terms of one's capacity for logic <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic>, abstract thought <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstraction>, understanding <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Understanding>, self-awareness <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-awareness>, communication <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication>, learning <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning>,emotional knowledge <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_knowledge>, memory <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory>, planning <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan>, creativity <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creativity> and problem solving <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_solving>.* *Intelligence is most widely studied in humans <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human>, but has also been observed in animals and in plants. Artificial intelligence <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence> is the simulation of intelligence in machines.* *Within the discipline of psychology <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychology>, various approaches to human intelligence have been adopted. The psychometric <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychometric> approach is especially familiar to the general public, as well as being the most researched and by far the most widely used in practical settings.[1] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence#cite_note-APA1995-1>* IMO all the substitute "words" mean *themselves*, not intelligence. Accordingly the 'artificial' one would refer to simulate *THOSE terms* in/by machines. Not the *INTELLIGENCE.* *I like to use* the word-origin meaning: *'inter'* ligence - *legibility* or its variant, to understand "the in-between" what is not verbatim expressed in/by the 'text'. Logically, intuitively, anticipatorily, or otherwise we may come up in our thinking evolvement. *Artificial Intelligence *is accordingly an oxymoron. We cannot expect from a (any?) machine to understand (use?) the verbatim non-expressed (infinite potential) of some (any) content and work with it successfully. Yet the term is widely used for 'computers' working in 'meanings and conclusions' of the SO FAR deciphered domain of our thinking - translated into softwares of that -still-embryonical tool of digital workings we call our existing Turing machine. Beyond that "The Deluge". I do not share the pessimism of the good professor, our machines are not (yet?) up to eliminate human ingenuity in the workplaces.
