Opponents to AI would like members of society to believe the answer to this question is yes. For these skeptics‚ AI either "conjures up images of HAL in the film ’2001: A Space Odyssey ’ or . . . the scarecrow in the ’Wizard of Oz ’" (qtd in Kupsh and Rhodes 344). Both cases illustrate the presence of intelligence where a brain is lacking. In the former AI is seen
