Hi, * Gunnar Wolf <[email protected]> [2026-02-18 23:41]:
(...AI can be defined as) the branch of computer science that seeks toautomatize intelligent behavior, but we would backpedal immediately, given the ambiguity of characterizing what “intelligent behavior” means — even of what “intelligence” means. (... we thus propose the definition as) AI is the collection of problems and methodologies studied by AI researchers.
In my day job, I am a researcher in Robotics and "classical" AI (i.e, not the currently hyped LLMs), and I must say I love this definition.
I sometimes tell people tongue-in-cheek that robotics researchers take a good look at other research disciplines and then steal^H repurpose their most valuable stuff.
