> Logistics companies rely on huge amounts of optimization and problem-solving. Finding routes for drivers and deliveries, planning schedules, optimizing store layouts, etc. -- that's AI. Your definition of AI seems to be particularly broad. There are several general and specific algorithms designed to handle the examples you gave and they have been working well for the last few decades, some even earlier and have been implemented on computers later. E.g. linear programming was designed to solve several classes of programs and was initially done on paper. Lumping all this as "AI" doesn't seem fair to me.
