On the EC's definition of AI, or How to define Artificial Intelligence as real and concerned with essence of Intelligence

First and foremost, AI is science, technology and engineering, dealing with cyber-physical systems, smart hardware and intelligent software, world data processing mechanisms and algorithms.
Any real definition is constituted by genus and differentia, general class/kind and the features or properties common to members of that class. It is just a classic wisdom.
AI should not be defined as narrow as below, by its specific products or some human-like mental capacities or tautologically, as "machine intelligence demonstrated by machines".
EC. A definition of Artificial Intelligence (AI), as proposed within the European Commission's Communication on AI.
Definition developed for the purpose of the deliverables of the EC High-Level Expert Group on Artificial Intelligence.
“Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to systems that display intelligent behaviour by analysing their environment and taking actions – with some degree of autonomy – to achieve specific goals.
AI-based systems can be purely software-based, acting in the virtual world (e.g. voice assistants, image analysis software, search engines, speech and face recognition systems) or AI can be embedded in hardware devices (e.g. advanced robots, autonomous cars, drones or Internet of Things applications).”
We propose to use the following updated definition of AI:
“Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to systems designed by humans that, given a complex goal, act in the physical or digital world by perceiving their environment, interpreting the collected structured or unstructured data, reasoning on the knowledge derived from this data and deciding the best action(s) to take (according to pre-defined parameters) to achieve the given goal.
AI systems can also be designed to learn to adapt their behaviour by analysing how the environment is affected by their previous actions.
As a scientific discipline, AI includes several approaches and techniques, such as machine learning (of which deep learning and reinforcement learning are specific examples), machine reasoning (which includes planning, scheduling, knowledge representation and reasoning, search, and optimization), and robotics (which includes control, perception, sensors and actuators, as well as the integration of all other techniques into cyber-physical systems).”
Britannica. Artificial intelligence (AI), the ability of a digital computer or computer-controlled robot to perform tasks commonly associated with intelligent beings. The term is frequently applied to the project of developing systems endowed with the intellectual processes characteristic of humans, such as the ability to reason, discover meaning, generalize, or learn from past experience.
Wiki. In computer science, artificial intelligence (AI), sometimes called machine intelligence, is intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by humans and other animals.
