Looking at the history of AI you could propose the following (time dependent) definition: Intelligence is at any time what is required for any task that humans can perform, and computers (currently) can't. Since 1997 we know that no intelligence is required for playing chess; in the future we might find out that the same holds for playing go, or writing novels or symphonies, or pattern recognition, etc. It follows from this that AI is an oxymoron.
