I will defer to Wikipedia for the definitions [1][2] that some accept. I personally see AI as an incredibly vague and overused marketing term. Far be it from anything Isaac Asimov envisioned. I believe it suffers the same rebranding as ASP Application Service Provider being rebranded as SaaS Software as a Service, in that the name and concept will be tainted by companies trying to hype up machine learning as something new to gain new investments portraying or even romanticizing it as something it isn't.
