What Artificial Intelligence Is

The idea
Artificial intelligence is the field that builds and studies computational agents: systems that decide what to do, based on what they sense, in pursuit of goals.
In practice

Where people slip
The definition never mentions brains, consciousness, or silicon. That silence is deliberate.
