The classic definition of AI is a machine doing something that seems like it should require human intelligence. Of course once it becomes commonplace for a computer to do something, it no longer seems like it should require human intelligence, so an equivalent definition is that what works consistently is just programming and what seems like it should work but doesn't yet is AI. Successful AI exists in the lag between getting something to work for the first time and it being accepted as something that computers routinely do.
