#2> he opened a computer program called PioSOLVER, one of a handful of artificial-intelligence-based tools
So I checked out this tool, and the team describes themselves as "programmers interested in algorithms"[0] ... what is the difference between A.I. and algorithms?

Depends on whether you use the traditional or vernacular definition of AI. Traditionally it was more about the how not the what. AI was an agent acting rationally in an environment. Pac-Man guided by Dijkstra? That's AI, there's an agent, an environment, and said agent is acting "rationally".
In modern vernacular it has become a synonym for machine learning or sometimes specifically neural networks.

The amount of VC funding you'll get.

#6Is there any remaining logic game which AI hasn't become superhuman? IIRC Monte Carlo tree search has done wonders in this area.

Imperfect information games that require agents to cooperate with each other haven't been solved yet. (multiagent cooperation is still a hard problem) Hanabi is a big(ish) research area. Contract bridge has had some work done on it.

The taxonomy I personally use is:
* Every computer program has algorithms, it's an extremely general term for "the idea behind how the computer will solve the problem". Advanced algorithms are typically those that took a lot of human effort to come up with.
* Machine Learning refers to a specific class of algorithms where the computer automatically figures out (part of) what it should do based on data.
* Deep learning is the subset of ML that uses deep neural networks.
* Artificial Intelligence is a marketing term, and is actually about the _problem_ being solved, not the technology being used to solve it. In particular, AI is any computer program that solves a problem people would previously expect can only be solved by a human applying creativity and/or intelligence, like playing a game, understanding natural language, or creating artwork. This definition is obviously a moving target as expectations change.
Deep learning is currently the most powerful and general toolkit for solving AI problems, so the concepts tend to get mixed together pretty frequently, but I personally like using the definitions above to keep things straight.

#9I am the solver programmer mentioned in the article. I think it came out pretty decently. Maybe not all the details are right (I was late answering fact checking email) but I think it's a decent read and the author has done a good job!

It just sounded like a good description. We never got any funding and started the business as a side project so no need for big words :)
