Used to describe problems or subproblems in AI, to indicate that the
solution presupposes a solution to the &#8216;strong AI problem&#8217;
(that is, the synthesis of a human-level intelligence). A problem that is
AI-complete is, in other words, just too hard.</p><p>Examples of AI-complete problems are &#8216;The Vision Problem&#8217;
(building a system that can see as well as a human) and &#8216;The Natural
Language Problem&#8217; (building a system that can understand and speak a
natural language as well as a human). These may appear to be modular, but
all attempts so far (2003) to solve them have foundered on the amount of
context information and &#8216;intelligence&#8217; they seem to
require.
