The Two (Conflicting) Definitions of AI

Summary: There are two definitions currently in use for AI, the popular definition and the data science definition and they conflict in fundamental ways. If you're going to explain or recommend AI to a non-data scientist, it's important to understand the difference. For a profession as concerned with accuracy as we are, we do a really poor job at naming things, or at least being consistent in the naming. "Big Data" – totally misleading (since it incorporates velocity and variety in addition to volume). How many times have you had to correct someone on that?
