The Foresight crowd uses "Machine Intelligence", which I think is even
worse. AI will regain its meaning when the actual AIs show up, and
shouldn't be too much of a disadvantage until then. If you want to
distinguish real AI from the usual run of marketing gimmicks, "general
intelligence" (or, for SIAI, "seed AI") works well enough.
