In the strictest sense of the technical definition: all of what you are describing are algorithmic approaches that are only colloquially referred to as “AI”. Artificial Intelligence is still science fiction. “AI” as it’s being marketed and sold today is categorical snake oil. We are nowhere even close to having a Star Trek ship-wide computer with anything even approaching reliable, reproducible, and safe outputs and capabilities that are fit for purpose - much less anything even remotely akin to a Soong-type Android.
That’s why this joke definition of AI is still the best: “AI is whatever hasn’t been done yet.”
I have forgotten all working definitions of AI that CS professors gave except for this one 🙃
In the strictest sense there is no technical definition because it all depends on what is “intelligence”, which isn’t something we have an easy definition for. A thermostat learning when you want which temperature based on usage stats can absolutely fulfill some definitions of intelligence (perceiving information and adapting behaviour as a result), and is orders of magnitude less complex than neural networks.
