Artificial Intelligence: Engineering, Science, or Slogan?

Typically, AI research (or should be) more concerned with the general form and properties of representational languages and methods than it is with the context being described by these languages. In these areas AI is concerned with content as well as form. Some definitions of AI would include peripheral as well as cognitive processes; here we argue against including the peripheral processes.
