Can We Kill the Term “Artificial Intelligence” Yet?

Last Updated on October 29, 2026 by Editorial Team Author(s): Hayanan Originally published on Towards AI. Calling everything AI is a little like giving every variable in a program the type any. It saves us the trouble of being specific. It also hides the mistakes we most need to catch. I would be worried about a codebase in which every variable was declared as any.
