There are plenty of new terms relating to artificial intelligence, but the strangest one is "AI" itself. Whereas for the past 75 years, everything in the computer world has been a system (computer system, information system, operating system, etc.), AI people avoided the word "system" like the plague. An AI system, the combination of hardware and software that produces results, is simply an "AI." For example, "an AI can do that..." is common phraseology. See
