Andrew Heikkila is a tech enthusiast and writer from Boise, Idaho. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.

Time to die." -- Roy Batty, Blade Runner Artificial intelligence has fascinated mankind for more than half a century, with the first public mention of computer intelligence recorded during a London lecture by Alan Turing in 1947.
