Regarding the definition of AI, I find lecture notes for intro to AI courses in various university [1] very useful:
> Views of AI fall into four categories:
> Thinking humanly - Cognitive Modeling
> Thinking rationally - “Laws of Thought”
> Acting humanly - Turing Test
> Acting rationally - Rational Agent
> The textbook advocates "acting rationally"
Indeed most of the things we see today in AI community is solving the problem of "acting rationally" whereas the other categories have their respective fields (Cognitive Science, Cognitive Neuroscience, Philosophy) that are no longer closely related to computer science.

- eli_gottlieb 10y agoI would say that if your paradigm for studying thought cannot explain away at least two of the other three, you've got it wrong. A good theory in cognitive modeling ought to have applications to all the rest. A good theory of acting rationally ought to have applications to acting humanly or thinking rationally, and ideally to thinking humanly as well.
