AI-complete

artificial intelligence, jargon /A-I k*m-pleet'/ (MIT,

Stanford: by analogy with "NP-complete") A term used to

describe problems or subproblems in artificial intelligence,

to indicate that the solution presupposes a solution to the

"strong AI problem" (that is, the synthesis of a human-level

intelligence). A problem that is AI-complete is, in other

words, just too hard.
