AI has always felt like a buzzword to me, but I have to admit, I really like the approach taken by the AI course that I took and Peter Norvig's textbook: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_Intelligence:_A_Modern_Approach https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_Intelligence:_A_Mod... . Mostly, I like the focus on breaking down the problem domain in a logical way, so you can decide on which approach to take. The problem with the other courses I took (Machine Learning, Statistics, Computer Algorithms) is that they are so focused on solving specific problems that they often didn't adequately define the problem domain. I'd really recommend both Norvig's books to anyone interested in AI (in the broad sense).
