Artificial Intelligence (AI) Defined

In Poland, a newspaper subscription tends to satisfy purely intellectual needs and is regarded as somewhat of a luxury which the majority of the people can heroically forego; in the United States a newspaper is regarded as a basic need of every person, indispensable as bread itself. The basic need for information, of all kinds, as Mark Twain observed (in Pudd'nhead Wilson, 1897): "The old saw says, 'Let a sleeping dog lie.' Right. Still, when there is much at stake, it is better to get a newspaper to do it." Today, the need for "serious" and "sensational" information is satisfied less and less by newspapers alone. The days of loyalty to a particular news organization on a particular piece of technology in a particular form are gone.
