Abstract
Intelligence can be defined in many ways, from the ability to learn to deal with new situations to the ability to make the right decisions according to some criterion, for example (Bengio, 2010). Standard computers and even basic calculators can be thought to be intelligent in some ways, as they can compute an outcome based on human-programed rules. Computers are extremely useful for mundane operations such as arithmetic calculations, and the speed and scale at which they can tackle these problems has greatly increased over time.
