A key concept of artificial intelligence (AI) is the Turing test. For a computer to pass this, it must be able to produce responses that are indistinguishable from a human's responses. In the past researchers considered building machines which had a general intelligence that could be applied to a wide range of situations. Nowadays, , more research effort is being directed towards applications with a single use, responding to telephone enquiries or driving cars. There are a number of common applications of AI. One is automated online assistants, commonly used on websites to answer questions from customers. is speech recognition. It used to be that computers needed a great deal of power to run AI applications. Nowadays even ordinary can run some surprisingly capable AI .
