…is discussed here in the broad sense and tradition of autonomous computation, in many different forms. This is the big circle on the AI Euler diagram that includes Machine Learning, CNNs, K-means algorithms and so on; a profusion of tools. In this definition of AI the various methods resemble or reflect human thought; but this analogy is at a high level somewhat vague and impractical. Anyway the central point is that AI writ large is an ensemble of methods for data analysis. (In contrast I indicate generative AI including Large Language Models and so on as gen-AI.
