Artificial intelligence is an interesting concept. It isn't very practical without some form of network and variant. What that variant is, is an interesting question and interesting guess. The animated series Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex uses an interesting approach. However, the definition of artificial intelligence is rather difficult.
Try looking for a definition and you will most likely find something similar to this:
"the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages."
This is a pretty decent definition. However, it will need to be modified if we ever end up being able to create self-aware programs. The likelihood of that happening anytime is rather slim though. A good example of AI are programs found in video games. Video game technology has made tremendous contributors to the advancement of AI. One of the large reasons for this is because of the large amounts of money poured into games to make them be more realistic and challenging.
Programming the AI of a fighter or a shooter can be difficult, their needs to be a good balance of how the AI reacts and preforms actions against the character. Finding the balance of difficulty and fairness is something very difficult and takes a lot of test time and algorithm crunching.
Additionally, game provide the capability for large amount of feedback data from users. This allows for big data calculations as well as great statistics in how code should be modeled for the general user.
