Abstract
That wasn’t a science fiction scenario. These were AI technologies that are technically feasible today and are being developed as part of computer science and engineering. Traditionally, AI (Artificial Intelligence) was understood as the simulation of intelligent human thought and action. This definition suffers from the fact that “intelligent human thinking” and “acting” are not defined. Furthermore, man is made the yardstick of intelligence, although evolution has produced many organisms with varying degrees of “intelligence”. In addition, we have long been surrounded in technology by “intelligent” systems that control our civilization independently and efficiently, but often differently from humans.
