Artificial Humor
I like the
idea of comedic computers. I wish my ATM had a better
sense of humor. Artificial intelligence researchers are
creating computer programs that can recognize a good joke.
Scientists
are taking satire seriously because humor is an important
aspect of improved interaction between humans and
computers.
Here is a
quick test I created for your
humor bot:
Knock knock
Who's
there?
A.I.
A.I.
who?
A.I. heard you were looking for a good
joke.
If your computer laughs at
this, I would classify it as non-intelligent.

The Theory of Intelligence
"AI scientists tried to program computers to act like
humans without first answering what intelligence is and
what it means to understand. -- from the book "On
Intelligence" by Jeff Hawkins and Sandra Blakeslee.

The State of Artificial Intelligence
In 1956 John McCarthy
coined the term "artificial intelligence". How far have we come since that time? Here
are some web sites with ongoing artificial intelligence
projects.
