When I think of the computers having real artificial intelligence I think of that as having a self awareness, like Commander Data on Star Trek. Even the ship's computer could understand commands and complicated questions but it did not have an identify and was not cognizant.

While it is certainly possible to program a computer to control a camera and photograph a sunset by pointing west and the right time and even send it to the printer, it has no sense of what the photograph is. It might just be a sunset on a rainy day, nothing pretty at all.

I guess we can hope that when real self awareness is developed they can program in Asimov's three laws of robotics at the basis of the program.
