Makes sense why they want this technology so much, one thing has really been achieved - in year 2005 you couldn't make a program that would be a keylogger and a useful thing all in one, so you had to make a keylogger somehow detect those rare events one can risk it running, or something like that. You couldn't instruct it in English "send me his private messages on sites like Facebook", you had to be specific and solve problems. Now you can. And these "AI"'s are usually one program with generic purpose. To stuff everything together with kinda useful things.
