A common way for normal people (who are <em>not</em> specialists in <strong>artificial-intelligence</strong>) to imagine <strong>artificial-intelligence</strong> is to imagine an <strong>android</strong>
—
a robot that looks like and behaves like a human.
</p>
<p>
Although an <strong>androids</strong> is definitely a type of <strong>artificial-intelligence</strong>
—
in reality <strong>artificial-intelligence</strong> is broader than, and even includes things that are mucm much much simpler than, <strong>androids</strong>.
</p>
<p>
But this (non-specialist) lay-person concept of <strong>artificial-intelligence</strong> as an <strong>android</strong> pervasive.
