XiXiDu's characterisation seems suitable enough: programs able to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence. One might add "or superhuman intelligence", as long as one is not simply wishing for magic there. This is orthogonal to the question of how you tell such a system what you want it to do.
Indeed. But there is a how to-do-it definition of .AI, and it is kind of not aboutt explicit coding, for instance, if a student takes an .AI course as part of a degree, they are not taught explicit coding all over again. They are taught about learning algorithms, neural networks, etc.
