What are some current goals and limitations of Artificail Intelligence

Artificial intelligence.
If you are reffering to the struggle to create a form of man made intelligence that can think for itself and make its own decisions and thus create its own ability to learn. Its limitations are fairly easy to recognise.
A comptuer can only do what it is programmed to do. It will respond to any external stimulus with an answer that has been pre-prepared for it to give. It reacts. Give it a situation and it will determine the best course of action... but only according to previously programmed directions.
In order for something to be true artificial intelligence, it would need to possess the ability to forget a previously given directive for one it deems more suitable for the task... by itself.
Example: You can programme a computer to recognise apples, tell it the shape, size, texture, even the chemicals that make it up. But give it an apple outside of those parameters, for instance, an apple that is the size of a truck, and it will fail to recognise it as an apple. It clearly is, just one we havent seen before. We as humans will store it away under experience and move on... apples can now be HUGE. But the computer wont know it until we tell it so.
There are ways around these sorts of situations, like giving it a list of essential qualities for an apple that nothing else possesses, but when we move the situation from items to situations of more complexity, like teaching it the various aspects of dancing with personal vigor and stlye... it becomes obvious that it lacks the personal experience to make a decision that is individual to itself. Again, it must fall back on programming.
Limitations... AI attempts lack the ability to personally experience and thus create thier own learning cycle.
Goals... Give it the ability to experience. Senses, reasoning and decision making prosesses and finally, the ability to let its previous decisions colour its current decision making process.
This is the true difference between us and computers. We have emotions. We colour our lives in such a way that our decisions and reasoning can sometimes be over turned by how our experience has changed us. A computer in its most advanced state, for the moment, will only react with a decision based upon the best possible outcome, according to what it has been programmed to know. It lacks individual personality, it literally IS its programmers undiluted commands... and then, whos telling the programmer what to write?
The mystery continues.
Hope this helps.

Artificial:
made by human skill; produced by humans (opposed to natural)
Intelligence:
The capacity to acquire and apply knowledge, especially toward a purposeful goal.
It is hard to define what Artificial Intelligence really is.
That topic seems to be ongoing.
To me, artificial intelligence occurs when 2 or more previously learned principles are used to solve a third goal. Without that, then intelligence is just repeating the actions or though patterns something else. The same way robots or software programs are designed to mimic menial human tasks.
An example of this would be the television for instance.
The creation of television is the result of applying the principles of plowing a field with electronics.
Another example is the Microwave. A person experienced a candy bar melting in his pocket when working with High frequencies. Combining those 2 facts, other things are heated.
If you really look back in time, that is how most everything has been invented or accomplished and we use these in everyday life to accomplish new tasks.
That's just my definition.

The irony is that most humans don't meet the standard that has been set for AI. Most humans are not self-aware as to their thoughts, beliefs and actions -- their motivations or intentions. Yet, this standard is applied to the world of AI.
We specifically construct definitions that will not allow for AI to be considered this.
