In the just-released �I-Robot,� Artificial Intelligence, A-I, goes awry when millions of sentient machines rebel against their creators.  Robots advanced to think and rebel, are just a Hollywood special effect, but Artificial Intelligence is no figment of the imagination, it�s already at work in dozens of everyday consumer applications like computer dating, online shopping, and spam filtering.  And in business, law, and finance, A-I can simplify complex research.  At West, a legal information company that was just named one of the top 100 places to work in I-T by Computer World Magazine, A-I helps legal researchers get faster, better results.  Vice president of Technology, Peter Jackson:

�Artificial intelligence doesn�t replace human intelligence; it augments it.  Applied Artificial Intelligence on the web is really about amplifying and extending human abilities to allow people to process information more effectively.  The A-I we�ve built into our legal research tools, it�s like rolling up the expertise from 100 of the world�s best law librarians and then pressing fast-forward.�

So while movie screens are easily filled with robots that can cook dinner and make the bed, A-I is already doing much of our work for us behind the scenes � we just weren�t aware of it.
