Characteristics of Artificial Intelligence

In order for something to be considered an "Artificial Intelligence," there are a few different characteristics that are required... Some of these characteristics include the following abilities:

• The ability to act intelligently, as a human.
• The ability to behave following "general intelligent action."
• The ability to artificially simulate the human brain.
• The ability to actively learn and adapt as a human.
• The ability to process language and symbols.

As can be seen from just these few examples, Artificial Intelligence primarily concerns the ability for a computer to mimic human intelligence. That is its key characteristic.
