> Finnish translates to "Artificial wit" Yes and no: the root of the word (and of the meaning) is still the same as in the word for intelligence. tekoäly "artificial intelligence, artificial wit" äly "wit" älykäs "intelligent, having wit" älykkyys "intelligence, the property or extent of having wit" One dictionary definition for 'äly' is 'älykkyys' and vice versa, so they can be used more or less as synonyms but with some different connotations. I don't know how 'tekoäly' was chosen but it might have been because it's shorter and/or the grammar is nicer.
