Anguilla?
The question makes me think of an interesting facet of the artificial intelligence field.
In computer science academia, "Artificial Intelligence" is a unique specialization in that as soon as a problem is solved, it's no longer considered an "Artificial Intelligence" problem.
For example, basic vision / object identification? Once considered AI, but now that the heuristics are more mature, it's considered an empirical calculation issue, not "AI" proper. Likewise for expert systems -- "which drug to prescribe?" -- no longer considered AI now that the problem is solved.
"Ah, we didn't need HAL to solve this problem... so it's not AI."
I wonder if this is, in any sense, conversely analogous to thinking that most of the major nations of the world are godless red socialists? Simply because things that were considered socialist 100 years ago are now de rigueur in the top producer nations?
