If I were to be completely honest, I don't even really understand AI or why it's such a great thing. But that's more my shortcoming than anything.
From what I have seen I still couldn't find anything that can be called "Artificial Intelligence", it feels like we are still in a very rough draft version of what we can call artificial intelligence. I haven't seen much progress in AI in the latest years, algorithms seem to be the same (or variations of them), the difference is that computers got faster and have more memory, this allowed impressive things such as brute forcing chess moves to beat the best player but I wouldn't call it "intelligent". Edit: a disclaimer, I haven't read very much about the machine that plays Go, as far as I know it can't use brute force to play the game but I don't know which algorithm it uses.
