The marvelous human eye.

Artificial means something created by human art rather than occurring in nature. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a computer program designed by humans to handle problems creatively, that is in the manner that the higher animals or humans would handle them.

An enormous amount of brainwork goes into successful AI developments. And the most efficient solutions generally come from the study of nature. For example, Boston College researchers Hao Jiang and Stella X. Yu recently revealed an improved method for getting computers to recognize moving objects.

Not surprisingly, their method more closely imitates the working of the human eye and brain than previous methods had.

When the most intelligent minds in our labs find it necessary to model their hardware and program designs on nature’s designs (and still can only roughly approximate nature’s successful designs), one is compelled to consider the overwhelming likelihood that nature itself has an intelligent designer of far superior ability.
