That's the plot line of a hyper critical, yet insightful, joke that came out of one of the many AI downturns in past decades, that as soon as an algo or implementation works it isn't AI anymore, its (fill in the blank specialization). So AI is just the present set of algos that don't (yet?) work.

So that fuzzy logic, thats not AI anymore, thats a footnote in the EE control systems theory class, isn't it? And the face recognition is a parallel processing assignment in FPGA class, speech recognition is an advanced section in DSP theory class, etc.

Right, it's not yet at that point for face and speech recognition, but that certainly happened to game AI (Chess), constraint solving (Sudoku), and planning.
