IDEA: Programming consolidation through primitive AI

[Neo] AI? You mean Artificial Intelligence?
[Morpheus] No, I mean Angsty Incompetent. You're a f***ing geek and you have to ask what AI means? Here's the blue pill, get the f*** outta here.

Ahem.

The idea is that a primitive AI system could simplify a lot of programming required of hardware systems. It's similar to teaching a pet to do a trick. You show the desired result, and the primitive intelligence learns. You could teach a visual identification system to allow a certain person in, and their built-in facial recognition software and hardware takes care of the rest.

This builds on another theory of mine: programs are essentially beings of primitive intelligence. I saw a bird circling over the same spot, and imagined it similar to an anti-burglar sensor. It takes a snapshot of the area, and if anything changes, act upon that change.

To expand a bit, the AI would require the needed hardware and software to observe objects as desired. Going back to the visual identification system example, it would first need the proper hardware and software required to make distinctions between faces. Once this is accomplished, then the learning may take place.
