Personally, I find AI too much of a "fuzzy black box" thing to be really interested in it.

That's because artificial intelligence is subject to eternally moving goalposts. Any technology which we are fully able to understand ceases to be intelligent; it is relegated to the status of mere "algorithm".

We understand machine learning itself, it's the problem space that needs to be understood. That's why it is such a black box - you never know the complexity of the model you need to build before you tackle it.
