“General intelligence is what people do,” the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Seattle, Washington. Because “We don’t have a computer that can function with the capabilities of a six-year-old, or even a three-year-old, and so we’re very far from general intelligence.” Just try it if you can prove any better!

There Are Two Kinds of AI, and the Difference is Imperative!

Most of today’s AI is designed based upon the original DOS or PC2 generation software sets that were used to solve only specific problems.

So why don’t we have general AI yet?
“It’s not fully adaptive in a human-like way, so it really doesn’t match human capabilities,” Yet everyone seems hell bent on having a real independent master Computer control system!

Yet there isn't a single, agreed-upon definition for general artificial

intelligence. “Philosophers will argue whether General AI needs to have a real consciousness or whether a simulation of it suffices," Jonathan Matus, founder and CEO of Zendrive, which is based in San Francisco and analyzes driving data collected from smartphone sensors, said in an email.

But, in essence, “General intelligence is what people do,” says Oren Etzioni, CEO of the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Seattle, Washington. “We don’t have a computer that can function with the capabilities of a six-year-old, or even a three-year-old, and so we’re very far from general intelligence.”

This type of AI would be able to accumulate knowledge and use it to solve different kinds of problems.

“I think the most powerful concept of general intelligence is that it’s adaptive,” Hanson says. “If you learn, for example, how to tie your shoes, you could apply it to other sorts of knots in other applications. If you have an intelligence that knows how to have a conversation with you, it can also know what it means to go to the store and buy a carton of milk.”

General AI would need to have background knowledge about the world as well as common sense, Laird says. “Pose it a new problem, it’s able to sort of work its way through it, and it also has a memory of what it’s been exposed to.”

Scientists have designed AI that can answer an array of questions with projects like IBM’s Watson, which defeated two former Jeopardy! champions in 2011.

“It had to have a lot of general capabilities in order to do that,” Laird says.

Today, there are many different Watsons, each tweaked to perform services such as diagnosing medical problems, helping business people run meetings, and making trailers for movies about super-smart AI.
But still, “It’s not fully adaptive in a human-like way, so it really doesn’t match human capabilities,” Hanson says.

" A human-made computer will never actually replace the Hunan mind and/or thorough process in the overall pursuits of knowledge or performance on its own! Because human thinking is a result of seeking and using the God-given intelligence in the search and use of facts and data to show the whole truth! " AMEN!

2 minutes to read

A number of examples and walkthroughs in the LINQ to SQL documentation use sample SQL Server databases and SQL Server Express. You can download these products free of charge from Microsoft.
Get the Northwind sample database for SQL Server

Download the script instnwnd.sql from the following GitHub repository to create and load the Northwind sample database for SQL Server:

Northwind and pubs sample databases for Microsoft SQL Server

Before you can use the Northwind database, you have to run the downloaded instnwnd.sql script file to recreate the database on an instance of SQL Server by using SQL Server Management Studio or a similar tool. Follow the instructions in the Readme file in the repository.

Tip

If you're looking for the Northwind database for Microsoft Access, see Install the Northwind sample database for Microsoft Access.
Get the Northwind sample database for Microsoft Access

The Northwind sample database for Microsoft Access is not available on the Microsoft Download Center. To install Northwind directly from within Access, do the following things:

Open Access.

Enter Northwind in the Search for Online Templates box, and then select Enter.

On the results screen, select Northwind. A new window opens with a description of the Northwind database.

In the new window, in the File Name text box, provide a filename for your copy of the Northwind database.

Select Create. Access downloads the Northwind database and prepares the file.

When this process is complete, the database opens with a Welcome screen.

Get the AdventureWorks sample database for SQL Server

Download the AdventureWorks sample database for SQL Server from the following GitHub repository:

AdventureWorks sample databases

After you download one of the database backup (*.bak) files, restore the backup to an instance of SQL Server by using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). See Get SQL Server Management Studio.
Get SQL Server Management Studio

If you want to view or modify a database that you've downloaded, you can use SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). Download SSMS from the following page:

Download SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)

You can also view and manage databases in the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE). In Visual Studio, connect to the database from SQL Server Object Explorer, or create a Data Connection to the database in Server Explorer. Open these explorer panes from the View menu.
Get SQL Server Express

SQL Server Express is a free, entry-level edition of SQL Server that you can redistribute with applications. Download SQL Server Express from the following page:

SQL Server Express Edition

If you're using Visual Studio, SQL Server Express LocalDB is included in the free Community edition of Visual Studio, as well as the Professional and higher editions.
