The description of the Turing test certainly alludes to a test of machine intelligence. So to some degree it is appropriate for AI to have a large umbrella. My problem with the endless battle to define AI is that there are a hopelessly clueless cohort of people with money that chase the term like its their golden goose, and therefore anybody that wants funding needs to market their thing as AI. And I think a lot of researchers cringe at the wanton use of AI because it devalues the work that they're doing. I just give it the shoulder shrug of approval - "I get it, you need funding too". And from that perspective I really wish that tree-based ML methods and logic programming languages and rule engines were still called AI, because they're really cool but horribly neglected because theyre not the latest thing.
