If you still think AI is only about computers, it's time to wake up.
Have you ever read about polymath
Stephen Wolfram?
A bona fide genius (with a PhD at age 20 and a MacArthur grant two years later to prove it), Wolfram has long argued that things as simple, as biological as cellular automata are better computers than
actual computers.
The computational equivalent of what goes on in the wind, in photosynthesis, in the decomposition of matter in sewers: it is all the same as what goes on in the human mind, or in the carbon bowels of a computer processor.
So next time you're figuring out whether your project is related to AI or not, listen to your gut... the answer might surprise you.
