> What’s “actual AI”

Is Ibn Sina (Avicenna, year ~1000) fine?

> [the higher faculty proper of humans is] the primary function of a natural body possessing organs in so far as it commits acts of rational choice and deduction through opinion; and in so far as it perceives universal matters

Or, "Intelligence is the ability to reason, determining concepts".

(And a proper artificial such thing is something that does it well.)
