Most AI has nothing to do with sentience and is far more pedestrian; various forms of AI are used by most of us every day.
Things like OCR (computers being able to decipher printed words—or handwritten ones), speech recognition (“OK, Google!” or even the phone systems that say “If you wish to sign up for new services, say 'Yes'”), decision trees (how do Amazon, Netflix, or Kobo make recommendations based on your profile), motion planning (how does the Roomba decide where to go next?), are all considered forms of AI.
What you're talking about is usually called “
artificial consciousness”, and is even a higher bar than what's generally called “
Strong AI,” itself a much different concept from simple AI and one that encompasses both artificial consciousness and
artificial general intelligence.
