+|  Intelligence  | Intelligence is a natural phenomenon.  |
+|  Natural Intelligence  | Many animals are considered "intelligent". |
+|  Artificial Intelligence  | Systems created by us to display (some or all) features deemed 'intelligent' when encountered in nature. Many definitions, see e.g.: .  |

+|  Aaron Sloman   | "Some readers may hope for definitions of terms like information processing, mental process, consciousness, emotion, love. However, each of these denotes a large and ill-defined collection of capabilities or features. There is no definite collection of nec- essary or sufficient conditions (nor any disjunction of conjunctions) that can be used to define such terms."
