However, since minds exhibit characteristics of consciousness , self knowledge and experientially learned knowledge, characteristics that have never been designed into a machine, most scientists work with a curtailed definition of Artificial Intelligence. The curtailment consists of side stepping the mind and defining AI as the development of computers whose observable performance has features, which in humans are attributable to mental processes. A large number of the studies and publications in the field of Artificial Intelligence make use of this curtailed definition of AI (see for example, Aleksander, 2001; Bechtel and Abramson, 2002; Boden, 1990; Cummins, 2000). In this paper the authors favor a more controversial definition of AI, namely AI is the science of intelligence tha
