Yes Richmond, you are correct. The AI ship seemed to sail quite some time ago. One of the top AI scientists, Doug Lenat, has been working on creating an AI entity, Cyc (www.cyc.com) and wrote an interesting article: "The Voice of the Turtle: Whatever Happened to AI?" which is an interesting read: http://www.aaai.org/ojs/index.php/aimagazine/article/download/2106/1996
In his article he gives 12 reasons why AI has struggled so. Doug lives here in Austin and I've had a chance to visit with him on occasion. Very interesting fellow. Many have abandoned AI (except for gamers) in favor of more database-centric analysis tools which can more readily demonstrate trends and answer what/if types of questions. I'm not holding my breath for an AI HAL and home cleaning robots. I suspect we're still quite some time away.
