Artificial Intelligence often congers up images of Skynet and the Terminator but what is it really based on today's applications.
AI is a buzzword primarily for marketers and the press, AI doesn't even exist yet. What we have is ML, Machine Learning or what some have labeled as "Augmented Intelligence", learning that requires a lot of "tweaking" from human sources to allow the machine to "learn". This allows the machine to learn to accomplish specific tasks without a programmer having to write tons of code.
The Sci-Fi AI is actually referred to as General Intelligence and will be a looooooong time in the future if we ever are able to build it. To put it in perspective;

So when you hear AI being touted by marketers and the media realize that it's really ML not AI in the true sense.Teaching computers to learn for themselves is a brilliant shortcut. And like all shortcuts, it involves cutting corners. There’s intelligence in AI systems, if you want to call it that. But it’s not organic intelligence, and it doesn’t play by the same rules humans do. You may as well ask: how clever is a book? What expertise is encoded in a frying pan?
