I think AI is mainly about:
Knowledge base indexing/searching
Goals/interests/intentionality
Problem solving, analysis, reasoning, logic, problem representation,
managing states, plans, theories, conclusions, focus, attention
management
Information theory, representating/filtering/summarizing content,
consideration/relevance theory and management, data filtering
Knowledge, representation of, symbols, situation and world
models, cross-referencing, explanations, maps, ideas, limits
Logic, communication, general syntax/styles/considerations
Linguistics, grammar, natural language processing, thought, discussion
Learning, building successfully adapting neural pathways, conditioning
Dynamic regulatory control systems (drives)
Evolutionary algorithms
Decision making, probabilities and certainty
Preference management, familiarity, belief networks (the shoulds
and should nots... A is better than B because..., etc.)
Games, performance, excercises, challenges, competition,
improving winning strategies, risk management, dominance,
dealing with equality/trade issues, agents, autonomy
Robot art, completeness, inspiration, creativity, appreciation, moods,
passions, emotions, desires
Robot consciousness and awareness
Image and voice data architectures
Etc.
How boring.
