A solid 90% of AI is data munging

What's the other 10%?

I'm serious - I've got a better-than-average understanding of statistics, and everything I've seen referred to as "AI" seems to really be just a statical model with a thin layer of code over the top to make decisions based upon it on the fly. Is there more to the state of the art that isn't apparent from the outside?

In fact, the only thing that comes to mind that doesn't fit that description would be genetic algorithms, but I don't hear much about them these days.
