No one is moving the goalposts. The problem with the current state of AI is that there's very little, if any, intelligence inherent within it. I don't consider a bunch of connected computers beating a human at a board game AI - that's just computers doing what they do best. And when we reach that point where consciousness has really been simulated, regardless of the extent, then we will have achieved a milestone in real AI that we can build upon. But, until that day comes all we can do is to continue trying to reverse engineer how brains actually work and process information. This is why it's always amusing to me whenever people call Google the future Skynet or try to enact laws for AI. We're so far away from real AI that I have my doubts we'll even get there.
