There is very little actual AI in neural networks. Most of the applications I have seen are in signal processing, pattern recognition, ... For example there is very little reasoning capability in neural network applications going on. Show a child two dogs and it will recognize most dogs from now on and you can ask it why it thinks something is a dog. Try that with neural networks after showing it a zillion dogs... Doing anything more AIish will need an old-fashioned symbolic system and that stuff is still hard. Take for example IBM's Watson. It's a big system with all kinds of different modules. The language frontend is written in old-fashioned Prolog.
