There were languages and hardware developed to assist in that enterprise. So, when the IEEE Neural Networks Council/Society changed its name to the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, it made perfect sense to me that CI was different from AI since the underlying models were rooted in numeric and functional representations, producing a nice crisp partition of techniques.
