AI is that which is non-biological, builds its own theories/models of what things mean and how things work, and updates those models when it observes inconsistencies.

When unable to resolve inconsistencies it would remember the confusion and with every new thing it learns -- try to resolve, with the new information, those remembered inconsistencies.

AI is that which would generate novel theories by analyzing similarities in things it already knows. And of course, it generates its own plans for attaining any goals it has.

Machine learning is a necessary but insufficient condition. Imo, today's excitement about ML means that winter is coming.
