waiter at your service "What the field of AI is really about is inventing machines that will help people in a variety of ways, by giving machines some of the sophisticated capabilities that humans have, such as the ability to understand spoken words, or interpret images, or to learn from experience. Usually these machines do not look or act at all like people, but they can be amazingly useful to people by improving and assisting our lives, and complementing rather than replacing the things that we humans like to do. And that's the goal we are collectively working toward."
