I asked a respected profesor at the University of Utah for a definition of artificial inteligence. He replied somewhat cynically and partially serious, whatever humans do that computers can't is the content of A.I. When we begin to understand some part of A.I. it is no longer A.I. but becomes things like computer vision, pattern recognition, robotics, etc. These topics admitedly are still considered by many to be A.I.; give them a decade or so.
