Yes its means is what it is all about. How do we want to use it? What do we want AI to do for us? How do we AI to enhance\enrich our lives? What outcomes do we want as a result of using AI? I expect conferences of people engaged in AI ask these questions Hacked AI...superthriller coming this fall to an Amazon near you, .....networked AI holds the world hostage and on the brink of an armageddon sized apocalypse while sales of Hal Lindsay Tshirts skyrocket  Oh and Marty....dunno where you went but Trump is nowhere on the page I sent you to... this is not "the page" but it is "the guy" William E.
