Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg disagree: What exactly is AI?

It's a bunch of algorithms working together to initiate a command, instead of one algorithm that understands voice, text, code, and an array of ideas. This is also true of Siri, Cortana, Google Assistant, and every other virtual personal assistant available today. They work by stringing together algorithms that determine what a human wants, and then either read from a script to give the answer or pull a canned response from Wikipedia. It's a marvelous feat of design--but not what AI researchers would call an "end-to-end" model, or one algorithm that learns to complete a task entirely by itself without human tinkering.
