Synthetic intelligence

Synthetic intelligence (SI) is an alternative/opposite term for artificial intelligence emphasizing that the intelligence of machines need not be an imitation or in any way artificial; it can be a genuine form of intelligence.[1][2] John Haugeland proposes an analogy with simulated diamonds and synthetic diamonds—only the synthetic diamond is truly a diamond.[1] Synthetic means that which is produced by synthesis, combining parts to form a whole; colloquially, a human-made version of that which has arisen naturally. A "synthetic intelligence" would therefore be or appear human-made, but not a simulation.

"Logic and Artificial Intelligence"

– The key difference between AI and SI is that AI refers to developing computer systems that can mimic human intelligence, while SI involves the creation of entirely synthetic intelligent systems[1] that are not based on biological structures or processes.
