Artificial Intelligence can be difficult to define as many of the researchers in this field have differing opinions on what qualifies as AI.
AI is "The capacity of computers or other machines to exhibit or simulate intelligent behavior" (OED, 2019).
An important takeaway about Artificial Intelligence is that we do not currently have a "General AI" or something that is purely AI. The technology that we are seeing today contains elements of AI. If the application was a recipe, AI might only be a teaspoon or a cup in the overall result.
For that reason, we need to understand the different types of applications that fall under Artificial Intelligence in order to make sure we are staying aware of the trends.
Below is a tree that represents some, but not all of the relationships between different applications and AI.
