People didn't call the printing press, calculators, computers, or pagerank "AI", but they all mechanize some aspect of "intelligence". (Though Bool did call his algebra the "laws of thought".)

How will its impact rank within that set?

(I think it's fair to include future improvement; but not new "AI" inventions, since the term "AI" is vague, little more precise than technology for processing information in new ways).
