   Designing machines for looking at images and finding specific items   
   like unexpected growths is quite simple. That's not AI. Simple 3 layer   
   neural networks can learn to do that already. When machines do things   
   they are not supposed to do that may be by using a form of AI. When my   
   washing machine starts making meals for me that could be described as   
   AI!
