ISTM you may have found the answer to TFA's question. In the early days of AI, they were looking for actual intelligence. Eventually everyone realized that won't be found soon. Today's success is mostly a successful refocusing on attainable heuristics, rather than solving many problems related to actual intelligence.

Love it. So we today have "A.I." and hopefully someday we may finally get A.A.I.

So what happened to Machine Learning and Computational Intelligence? Not sexy enough?

The original goal of AI is now called AGI, for "artificial general intelligence".
