I think a better term to use would be perhaps synthetic, which is something man made used to imitate something natural.
So we would call it synthetic intelligence, if we wanted to get pedantic.
Of course the word “artificial” is useful to classify things for our safety and benefit, but we are not supernatural and so the things we create still exist in nature - like we are the hand of the universe reconfiguring itself.
This artificial separation of the human from nature has been popular in the past and I hope we overcome it.
