    Google doesn't expect its deep-learning systems to ever evolve into a full-blown emergent artificial intelligence, though. "[AI] just happens on its own? I'm too practical – we have to make it happen," the company's research chief Alfred Spector told us earlier this year.

It's a matter of sensory inputs, an ability to interact with the environment, and then the ability to apply this type of processing to all those domains. What you would have is a freakishly creature-like AI.
