Artificial intelligence (or computer intelligence) was a term used in the fields of cybernetics, computer science, and related disciplines, to describe computer hardware and software sophisticated enough to reason independently, form new conclusions, and alter its own responses.

The android Data, built in the early 24th century, may be an example of a true artificial intelligence according to this definition. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint") So might certain other androids, notably, Ruk, an artifact of the Old Ones of Exo III. (TOS: "What Are Little Girls Made Of?") Data was equipped by his creator, Noonian Soong, with a positronic brain, based on an advanced neural-net design. He was eventually deemed an independent lifeform, with the rights and responsibilities of other life, lending weight to the notion that he qualifies as an artificial intelligence. (TNG: "The Measure Of A Man")

The question of whether machines can achieve the capacity for self-awareness or emotional feeling (sentience) remains controversial. (TNG: "The Measure Of A Man"; Star Trek Generations)

Even certain highly advanced alien computers may or may not meet the criteria for artificial intelligence. Landru ruled Beta III for almost 6,000 years, but Kirk and Spock deduced its nature in less than a day. (TOS: "The Return of the Archons")

Doctor Kurt Mandl held advanced degrees in computer science and artificial intelligence. (TNG: "Home Soil")

In late 2367, Geordi La Forge wanted to attend a seminar about artificial intelligence on Risa. (TNG: "The Mind's Eye")

+'''Artificial intelligence''' (or '''computer intelligence''') was a term used in the fields of [[cybernetics]], [[computer science]], and related disciplines, to describe [[computer]] hardware and software sophisticated enough to reason independently, form new conclusions, and alter its own responses.
+The [[android]] [[Data]], built in the early [[24th century]], may be an example of a true artificial intelligence according to this definition. ({{TNG|Encounter at Farpoint}}) So might certain other androids, notably, [[Ruk]], an artifact of the {{dis|Old Ones|Exo III}} of [[Exo III]]. ({{TOS|What Are Little Girls Made Of?}}) Data was equipped by his creator, [[Noonian Soong]], with a [[positronic brain]], based on an advanced neural-net design. He was eventually deemed an independent [[lifeform]], with the rights and responsibilities of other life, lending weight to the notion that he qualifies as an artificial intelligence. ({{TNG|The Measure Of A Man}})
-'''Artificial intelligence''' is a term coined by [[20th century]] [[human]] [[computer]] [[engineer]]s to describe hardware and software sophisticated enough to reason independently, form new conclusions, and alter its own responses.  At the time the term was coined, such programs were largely theoretical.  The yardstick for determining whether a computer was operating an artificial intelligence was then the [[wikipedia:Turing test|Turing test]], first devised by early computer scientist [[wikipedia:Alan Turing|Alan Turing]] in [[1950]].
+The question of whether machines can achieve the capacity for self-awareness or [[emotion]]al feeling ([[sentience]]) remains controversial. ({{TNG|The Measure Of A Man}}; {{film|7}})

+Even certain highly advanced [[alien]] computers may or may not meet the criteria for artificial intelligence. [[Landru]] ruled [[Beta III]] for almost 6,000 years, but [[James T. Kirk|Kirk]] and [[Spock]] deduced its nature in less than a [[day]]. ({{TOS|The Return of the Archons}})

+[[Doctor]] [[Kurt Mandl]] held advanced degrees in computer science and artificial intelligence. ({{TNG|Home Soil}})
-Most of the [[computer]] systems in use by the [[Federation]] and similar powers would probably not qualify; they are very powerful, but nevertheless remain essentially data storage, retrieval, and coordination devices.
+In late [[2367]], [[Geordi La Forge]] wanted to attend a seminar about artificial intelligence on [[Risa]]. ({{TNG|The Mind's Eye}})
-Even certain highly advanced [[alien]] computers may or may not meet this criteron.  [[Landru]] ruled [[Beta III]] for almost 6,000 years, but [[James T. Kirk|Kirk]] and [[Spock]] deduced its nature in less than a day.  (That its subjects did not is probably a consequence of the near reverence in which they held Landru.)

-:''Of course, the computers in use by the Federation may be significantly more powerful than we are shown.  Since the stories have always been about human, and to a lesser extent alien, interaction, the computers serve a role as storytelling springboards, more than characters, with the notable exceptions of Data and The Doctor.''
