- "Artificial Intelligence is the study of ideas that enable computers to be intelligent", Winston, in Artificial Intelligence, 2nd Edition, 1984.
- "Artificial Intelligence is the study of mental faculties through the use of computational models", Charniak and McDermott, 1985.
- "A field of study that seeks to explain and emulate intelligent behaviour in terms of computational processes", Schalkoff, 1990.
- "The study of the techniques for solving exponentially hard problems in polynomial time by exploiting knowledge about the problem domain", Rich & Knight, in E. Rich & K. Knight: Artificial Intelligence, McGraw-Hill, New York, 2nd edition, 1991.
