Attainable AI, from science fiction to science fact: The reality of today's AI

The idea of artificial intelligence (AI) has been around for millennia. Stories of AI are scattered throughout history and across the globe: Hephaestus, of Greek mythology, "created" golden robots; Yan Shi (1023–957 BC, Zhou Dynasty) "built" a mechanical man; Leonardo Da Vinci constructed a Robotic Knight. What was once a dream or some crazy figment of one's imagination, has since become an evolving reality. Aristotle (384–322 BC) came up with what we could arguably call a simple notion: syllogism. At the core, it relies on logic and reasoning to deduce a conclusion.
