# Briefing

This module is more than hard facts.
While Artificial Intelligence solves a lot of important problems
very well, it is also a technology full of surprises, ambiguities,
and moral dilemmas. 
For this reason you have to piece together the material yourselves
and look for a meaning whih is relevant to you.
It is important to read and hear different perspectives on the 
subject, and therefore I provide a range of video links
and a long reading list.  

## Key recurring questions

+ What is intelligence?
+ What is AI?
+ Is AI possible?
