"A group of men talking about why an apple falls from a tree is only different in scale of complexity from a group of coyotes who is planning to attack a herd of deer."
The type of complexity is completely different, you can program a robot to attack a herd, and to plan it according to many variables.. that doesn't mean it has conciousness.
AI can analyze environments too, it just needs to have the tools for getting data, then code for interpreting the data, and then act according to the data inputted. it doesn't really have a choice, as it is just doing what it's programmed to do.
