>> I don't think this article reflects what people usually mean when they say AI, or am I missing something?
If by "people" you mean the lay press and people who are not AI scientists, then maybe. But AI scientists know their history, usually and can place rule-based systems firmly within AI.
>> I haven't really done any machine learning or logic programming, so could be totally off, but glancing at this was confusing based on the title.
I understand your confusion but my intuition is that you are confused because you are only aware of very recent reports on AI, that focus entirely on machine learning.
It might help to clear up the confusion if you pick up an AI textbook, eg. Russel and Norvig (AI - A Modern Approach).
