Since I was a child, that was already age of AI. Now 50 years later, it is still AI in different form. AI is always there just like mechanical robot is 16th century. For those old enough did you remember FANUC robotics and it's showtime on Jay Leno show.
Just like Human has worked on superconductivity since 1950's. I was studying advanced robotics in the 80's in most prestigious graduate school. In my vision we have determined you can have many specialized robots which each does one specialty because it is trained to. AI is an abstract concept, this word will be forever no matter who is retiring.
