Modern AI is an odd combination of statistics, applied math, discrete math/combinatorics and logic. My theory is the only reason AI is a subfield of Computer Science at all is founder bias (Turing).
Totally agree. My slogan is that for AI to succeed it has to become an empirical science: it should use math, but only to the extent that the math is useful to describe reality. And it should be curiousity-driven and not application-driven like almost all modern research in computer vision and natural language processing.

I’m curious about how to not die (as an individual and a species). Would that count as curiosity or application drive? :P
