>For the general public, AI is a synonym for deep learning I'd contend for the general public, AI is a synonym for machines like: HAL; The Terminator; Star Trek's "Data"; the robots in the film "AI"; and so on. We're nowhere remotely in the vicinity of that, and no-one even has any plausible ideas about how to start. A random person outside of tech probably doesn't even know what deep learning is. They might have heard of it somewhere in passing.
