It has been called like that since the 50s were it could do literally nothing because computer power wasn't enough. It is the field that leads to an artificially created intelligence. We never had any issues with the name. No need for a rebrand.

You can call the field of research what you want, but the current products are not AI. Do you also call potatoes vodka?
