You might be interested in Alice (see links below). It is an AI that you can download and use for free. You probably already know that there are 2 main kinds of AI: (1) tricky programs, often called expert systems, that are designed to seem smart. They often use databases of info for responding to queries (2) neural nets that really are smart (at least potentially) but which need to be painstakingly taught like a baby.
Alice is a type of expert system -- it uses a special language to program it to have responses that can look smart.

Neural nets have the most potential for the future, but their development is still in the early stages.
If you want info on neural nets let me know and I'll send you some. :)
