//Artificial intelligence (AI) started as a research field. It still is. Just like research results in physics are useful for engineering, results in AI are useful for industry. AI is still in formation, much like computer science. It is a knowledge-generating enterprise funded by the public through universities and competitive research grants. Applications of AI are funded by companies and through various other means (including competitive grants for //applied research//). The knowledge generated in AI research is in part determined by the nature of the enterprise - how it's organized, who are the influencers, what are low-hanging fruit, etc.//


====Requirements for General Autonomous Intelligence ====
//When engineers make an artifact, like a bridge or a space rocket, they start by listing the artifact's **requirements**. This way, for any proposed implementation, they can check their progress by comparing the performance of a prototype to these. The below papers consider what are necessary and sufficient requirements for a machine with **real** intelligence. (Therefore, these speak to defining what 'intelligent systems' in fact really means.)//
