1. as an engineering practice, AI seeks to build precise working systems;
2. as a scientific practice, it seeks to explain the human mind and human behavior;
3. as a discursive practice, it seeks to use psychological terms (derived from its scientific practice) to describe what its artifacts (built through the engineering practice) do.
This third practice, which acts like a bridge between the other two, is more subjective than the other two".
