EXCERPT: You may think computers are getting pretty smart when you interact with Siri or Google Now, but there's a lot that artificially intelligent software can't fully grasp yet - like what happens when you let go of an object at the top of a slope, for example. That's why researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) are developing a computer model called Galileo. It's designed to learn the laws of physics by watching a series of demonstration videos and then predicting what will happen in similar scenarios....
