National What's the big deal with AI anyway?

Ryan McClead cautions against buying into the artificial intelligence hype that has taken over legal and mainstream media – not because it isn't real, but because our own conception of AI is a work in progress: Google isn't considered AI, but it'knows' what you're typing as you type, and then it filters a large portion of the web to give you the most relevant pages. It would have easily been seen as AI twenty years ago. Siri and Alexa personal assistants respond to voice commands and can return information instantly or actually perform tasks online, but they are considered borderline AI at best these days. Completely self-driving automobiles are still seen as Science Fiction and therefore are solidly in the AI column, but I predict they will NOT widely be considered AI by the time they are commercially available. AI is a moving target.
