Putting Together A Full-Blooded AI Maturity Model

Some people seem to regard artificial intelligence (AI) as a secular faith. AI is primarily a software development and engineering discipline. But AI is not a religion and it does not have a holy scripture that sanctifies some approaches while denigrating others. That's why I grow uncomfortable when tech industry conversations turn to "true AI," as in this recent Bernard Marr article. These philosophical musings don't hold much value for AI practitioners who are tuning algorithms to analyze real-time video feeds, recognize faces in a crowd, or guide an autonomous vehicle toward its appointed destination.
