Is that really "artificial intelligence"?

If date=SuperBowl and account.age<30d and account.city=booking.city
Then reservation.cancel

This is AI?


Yes. AI is just the new buzzword for simple algorithms. It makes news and people click on links with it in the title. (like we all just did)

This is not a simple problem at all. The article didn't say it was a simple rules-based system, it said that the algorithms take that data into account to make decisions.


Algorithms to detect fraud aren't simply "if purchase_amount > 1000 and country equals Russia, then fraud". There are countless patterns of data that the algorithms are trained on.
