The best efforts to date of making AI only result in imitations of specific parts of intelligence. We can write programs that pretend to be AI but really it's just an imitation.
Watson imitates memory (questions and answers trivia): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watson_(computer)
Cleverbot imitates Social interaction: http://www.cleverbot.com/
etc. There are more but they all fall VERY short of creating any sort of real intelligence.
Here is a wiki excerpt on human intelligence. If humans posses all these cognitive abilities, imagine how much smarter machines would have to be to overthrow us. It's not likely.
