I have been doing a lot of neural network and artificial intelligence reading over the past few months , and the thing that comes most to mind when i think about these fields is how they can be applied to modern web applications. What Artificial intelligence is in a nutshell simplified kindergarten manner is teaching the computer , human logic. By Human logic i don't mean if and else statements, but i mean more like analyzing the data and finding out what is what . A good example is that in math when were doing equations , some people tend to put x = 3 , or some people put 3 = x , depending on there preference. However if you define in programming , if you put x = y , and y = x  they are 2 different things. Why cant the computer know what we are trying to imply.

why cant we make our flex applications, coldfusion applications , c , c++ , java application's more smarter by adding these analyzing capabilities. Of course there are AI in games and some high level software, but AI isn't only meant for that. For example, flickr can benefit with A.I by writing intelligence into there system that combines recognition algorithms and sorts out the pictures by who or what is in them and not only the tags. Think of how much power this would give Flickr. If i wanted to search for a blue chair, it would find all the pictures of a blue chair and display them, or if i wanted to find a man wearing a blue shirt, it would find a man wearing a blue shirt. As computers get more and more powerful, i don't think that these types of home level A.I or HLAI (eh lay) are far away.
