>corporations display many of the characteristics we typically associate with AI... I agree with your comment. This is how I think about corporations too. But I'd like to mention something about the name "Artificial Intelligence". I think that Artificial Intelligence is not artificial and it is not intelligent. I define AI as the ability of an organism to make right decisions to perpetuate its existence. Not only this is not artificial it is a widespread natural process. I also use it as the definition of life. An organism that can make the right definitions to perpetuate its existence is said to be alive. Or maybe, more generally, the ability to make decisions.
