Interesting question! I'd say there are *a lot*.

If you ask about AI, in general, I'd say the very concept of "AI" is the biggest. Most people associate it with popular cultural influences like the terminator or a space odyssey but it's nothing of the sort. The term AI was chosen back in 1956 partly as a means to distance the field from the influence of Norbert Wiener, the father of cybernetics. It was more a political move than a scientific one.

Current "AI" systems aren't AI (as the concept is commonly understood) and are nowhere close to being. That's why people have invented other terms like AGI, HLAI, strong AI, true AI...
