> I'd also add, maybe controversially, that anyone using "AI" to make some kind of basic prediction (say for personalization, demand planning, medical decisions, really most tabular data) is not going to have a business that lives or dies based on AI.

Unfortunately this rules out the vast majority of business use-cases. ML use-cases on structured data vastly outnumber those of vision/nlp/RL.

Also you seem to be restricting the term "AI" to Neural network-type techniques.
