Is Artificial Intelligence A Myth?

Here is something we all love: tech buzz words and the grand promise of new technologies. You know it's right, because me, you and the person pitching the sales deck use them all the time. "The Internet Of Things will connect everything," "Blockchain will democratize everything," and "AI will solve all of our problems." AI specifically is high on the buzz word list: from traffic jams to climate change, there is a solution, and it is the new breed of machines that can think and act like us. Most of everything that was once plain "digital" is becoming "AI-enabled."
