   What is really “AI”? At one point, the argument was over whether   
   computers could “think”. Then you had to define “thinking”, and   
   somebody tried to settle the question by saing: “thinking is what   
   computers cannot do”.   
      
   The only succinct definition of “AI” I ever saw was: “solving NP   
   problems in polynomial time”.
