In 2000 the first supercomputer passed 4 teraflops, or 4 trillion calculations per second. By June 2007, the fastest supercomputer - IBM's BlueGene, with 131,072 processors - achieved speeds of 280.6 teraflops.
Growth in total performance of all top 500 supercomputer systems in past few years is as follows:
06-2007 4.92 petaflops (or 1,000 teraflops, or 1,000 trillion calculations per second)
11-2006 3.54 petaflops
06-2006 2.79 petaflops
It is apparent that computing power is not what we currently miss to create intelligence, and I hope to be able via this blog to present my personal hypothesis on how we may attempt to bring intelligence, or apparent intelligence, to machines.
My presentation approach will involve demonstration of each concept, as more than anything, I need to be able to prove to myself there is substance behind the concept.

Maybe concentrating on one simple human behaviour as a start, is something you would want to consider.
Let's say, focus on the algorithm's ability to help people in increasing their motication. The algorithm will reject other subjects and try to lead the participant to talk about motivation. In this case, your AI will also show some intention to help, which is attractive.
If this sounds a way to start, take a look at http://www.usask.ca/education/coursework/802papers/Frith/Motivation.HTM to get some ideas about the subject.
