This is not unlike Raphael's definition (#3 on the webpage that Sung cited). In an article on accomplishments of computer science that appeared in American Scientist some years ago, Peter Denning listed very few accomplishments of AI, yet almost all of the other branches of computer science included accomplishments that originated in AI (but that Denning ascribed to the other branches of CS). | As making you amusing a little bit, MY DEFINITION IS, | "Artificiation (Artificization) of natural intelligence." I'm not quite sure what word you meant here (neither of those is an English word (yet)). Perhaps you meant "artificialization", but that makes it sound as though AI researchers are trying to turn natural intelligence into something artificial. In fact, they are trying to come up with computational theories of various aspects of natural intelligence (or natural cognition), which is why I prefer the term "computational cognition".
