A subgoal is a goal set up by a problem solver in an attempt to solve another goal.

ELIZA is a famous 1966 computer program which responds in a situation with a patient by rephrasing many of the patient's statements as questions and posing them to the patient.

Artificial neural networks are made up of interconnecting artificial neurons (programming constructs that mimic the properties of biological neurons). Artificial neural networks may either be used to gain an understanding of biological neural networks, or for solving artificial intelligence problems without necessarily creating a model of a real biological system.

Developments in Hardware over time e.g. Computers and Television

artificial Vision Systems (computer based systems where software performs tasks assimilable to "seeing", usually aimed to industrial quality assurance, part selection, defect detection etc).

Natural-language-generation systems convert information from computer databases into normal-sounding human language. Natural-language-understanding systems convert samples of human language into more formal representations that are easier for computer programs to manipulate.
