Trying to wrap your brain around AI? CMU has an AI stack for that

I wanted to talk to Moore about some of the AI basics -- like how the School of Computer Science defines artificial intelligence. That may seem simplistic, but the term is used so broadly that I think it's worth taking the time to make sure we all know what we're talking about when we talk about AI. So, our conversation started with a definition, it moved to CMU's AI stack, which I'll explain in a minute and which could help CIOs wrap their heads around this sprawling term. Moore: We've tried to make it pretty focused. You're building an artificial intelligence system if you're building a system which does two things: It must understand the world and it must make smart decisions based on what it's understanding.
