ABSTRACT
Wikipedia gives the following as a definition for artificial intelligence (or AI): “the study and design of intelligent agents,” where an intelligent agent is “a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success” [Wikipedia 12-A]. This is certainly not the only definition for the term-“artificial intelligence” is a term that is notoriously difficult to define-but it does accurately describe much of AI as it is researched and taught in our universities. We will use the term academic AI to describe AI as it is commonly taught today.
