First off, I am not an "AI" expert nor do I claim to be, however, this is how I see it.
Since it seems that so few really understand the term "intelligence", it is really not surprising that even fewer grasp the meaning of the term "artificial intelligence", is it?
One: intelligence is not awareness.
Although we cannot prove the existence of or even seem to really define self-awareness, it seems self-evident, at least to me, that intelligence is clearly defined and can be measured.
Therefore, I believe that we will have "artificial intelligence" soon, in fact, I'd bet Google may well be the first AI or "self intelligent' engine.
However, I suspect it will be quite awhile before we are mature enough to build a self-aware engine.
Lastly, in regards to some of the other comments, it seems to me that this paper is about using the "intelligence" included in the language we use, that Google crawls. This repository is the single largest collection of semantic weighting, therefore, algorithms could be developed that reflect this "intelligence", therefore appear themselves intelligent, even though they themselves are simply deterministic.
For instance, News.com posted this in an article way back in May of 2003: "The move comes amid the discovery of a remarked chip market earlier this year. In February, AMD embarked of a series of raids in the Philippines." AMD combats chip fraud in Asia
Based on tips provided by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Taiwan, the police Friday raided an electronics company located in Tainan, southern Taiwan, and seized a total of 60,000 suspect AMD CPUs, according to the police and sources at AMD Taiwan.
The suspect AMD CPUs, including K7 and K8 models, were defective CPUs that would normally have been destroyed. However, market sources said that the CPUs might have been stolen from one of AMD's three packaging and testing plants in Asia and shipped to Taiwan for re-marking. The possible source of the defective chips could be one of AMD's packaging and testing plants in Singapore or Malaysia, or in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province (China), said the sources.
Over a million re-marked AMD CPUs have allegedly been shipped to Germany and China, the Chinese-language Liberty Times reported Saturday, adding that the value of the seized CPUs would be about NT$300 million (about US$9.46 million).
Sources at AMD Taiwan confirmed that the 60,000 seized in Taiwan are defective CPUs rejected by the company, however, the company has officially refused to comment on the seized products in Taiwan or the alleged one million shipped to Germany and China, stating that the company will release an official statement when the police investigation has concluded.
The company from which the suspect product was seized is called Hao Hwa Technology (transliterated from Chinese). Taiwan police seize 60,000 suspect AMD CPUs Charles Chou and outside sources, Taipei; Steve Shen, DigiTimes.com [Monday 3 January 2005]

OMG, like what, visiting/. leads to moral blindness??
Rather, it is critical reasoning that leads us to reject the accumulation and subsequent dispersal of assists acquired illegally or immorally with the obvious understanding that such is a quite poor, and unprofitable, misuse of the world's resources.
Sadly, it is a bad thing. I'm just so tired of listening to people use profits in order to justify immoral behaviour. The problem is profitability is put ahead of morality and responsibility. When anyone profits at other people's expense, cost and suffering is the result.
Why should companies be allowed to cheat the public, corrupt the market and pervert the law, just because they're profitable?
Does have wealth gotten dishonestly really profit anyone?
The truth is it's out of control already. Our freedoms and lifestyles have already been severely eroded, all in the quest for excessive affluence for a privileged elite.

I was involved with several cyber / gaming cafes that went broke largely due to licensing issues. In fact, if the full license fees had been paid, these fees would have been the single greatest expense, exceeding that of wages or lease costs.
It's been my experience that many gaming places don't have sufficent numbers of retail licenses nor do they pay extra for commercial site licenses, all of whom call for regular on-going payments. If they did, they'd be unprofitable.
Here's my prediction. The big corporate publishers will abuse licensing, eliminate mom & pop cafes and replace them with franchises.

Is this corruption inevitable?
Is this actually leadership?
Is this type of leadership worth paying so much for?
Why do we the people tolerate an obviously biased, flawed, unfair and unjust compensation system?
Why is it that already affluent people are not content with their current excessive levels of material comfort?
Since we're told we need to pay top bucks for top people, does that mean we must pay bottom dollars for bottom people?
Are people a commodity? Should we really be marketed?
Is there not one large modern organization whose leadership is ethical, fair, legal, moral and responsible?
Why is it this way? Why do we tolerate it?
Doesn't anybody realize the cost?
Are our leaders really this stupid?
sigh, and no, these really aren't just rhetorical, see:
sheesh
what tax isn't explotive?
is it any less insane to use litigation to make examples of some random few?
the insanity is in making sharing immoral

In truth, current copyright laws are the result of greed and are simply neither ethical nor productive.
