You're right, they're not enough. I guess it really boils down to making the computer reason about the data it has to achieve a goal or answer a question, rather than applying algorithms to data. The algorithms are intrinsic and hidden. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reasoning_system https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reasoning_system Constraint based layout engines are such an example. Business rules engines are another. It's the fuzzy dividing line where we start considering programming techniques to be AI instead of conventional. This line is somewhat arbitrary based on history.
