the scientific understanding of the mechanisms underlying thought and intelligent behavior and their embodiment in machines. from (AAAI).
It is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. It is related to the similar task of using computers to understand human intelligence, but AI does not have to confine itself to methods that are biologically observable. by J. McCarthy, Computer Science Department, Stanford University, One of the founders of the field of AI.
Artificial intelligence is the science of how to get machines to do the things they do in the movies. - Astro Teller - http://www.astroteller.net/

I think that AI is the science of creating intelligent entities (programs or robots) that are capable of performing activities, which if performed by humans, would require intelligence.
I'm not exactly sure what AI is, apart from knowing that it is a field of ongoing research which attempts to create information processing machines that are able to interact in the world efficiently (or rather, cleverly).
However, one increasingly obvious effect of all this research is that it forces us (humans) to understand ourselves better in order to have any chance of 'real' success. If we still don't know how it is that we think/function, it will prove difficult to know where to begin.
The computer scientist John McCarthy states this quite elegantly in his short paper which can be found here: http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/aiphil.pdf
