What is semantics?

One of the major problems in designing artificial intelligence is having the computer develop a deep understanding of what is being communicated to it. If you tell a computer that you felt sad yesterday, the computer doesn't truly understand the concept of sad. Similarly, can the computer comprehend the concept of "tree"? Thus, the question is why do words have meaning? Or, in other words, what is semantics?

Help me out, post a comment on this topic.


By the way, I'm a very giving person. I gave my stomach flu to Veronica and now she's sick.
