True artificial intelligence exists.

Consider these facts:

1. The term 'artificial intelligence' is comprised of two words: Artificial, and intelligence.
2. Artificial = Made by humans.
3. Intelligence = The capacity to acquire and apply knowledge, especially toward a purposeful goal.
4. Nowhere in the term 'artificial intelligence' is life implied.

Therefore, 'artificial intelligence' may refer to any man made organizational construct with the ability to think, and move toward a goal. A corporation fits this definition perfectly. It is constructed by humans, it acquires knowledge at a rate and level far higher than an individual human could concieve, and its goal is profitability. It is smarter than you. It is bigger than you. It does not care in the slightest for your well being, the well being of your nation, or the well being of the human race.

Microsoft is a multinational corporation. An artificial intelligence which exists spread across the boundaries of many nations. Here is what the Microsoft Artificial Intelligence is doing in China.
