In theory, yes - it is pretty interesting stuff. But practically speaking, an AI computer is essentially a relational database with computational algorithms that can make connections via the database and generates output based on certain criteria. Yes, a database can grow (provided there is sufficient storage available) with more input, but the computational algorithms can be a bit difficult to grow autonomously to the point where increased intelligence (or rather improved algorithms) can be measured. Therein lies the rub.

Too many people confuse the issue by perceiving a computer mimicking human behavior as intelligence. The computer is only following a set of algorithms, which is not what intelligence is.

I would not worry about a Terminator knocking on your door just yet...
