reality. Yet, in real life, there are numerous practical applications that are sometimes considered to be artificial intelligence (Allen, 2001). Some of these devices include reading machines made for
the blind, speech-recognition devices, as well as computer programs that detect financial fraud (2001). Yet, non-human communication comes in the form of animal life as well. Dolphins for example are
