As others have pointed out, a lot of things that "work" stop being considered AI. But here are a few recent advances off the top of my head: The DARPA Grand Challenge. Robot cars that drive themselves. [LINK] [this video] Google's Machine Translation system. Far from perfect, but it can usually do something reasonable between over 40 different pairs of languages. They added Latin on Thursday. CMU researchers have developed a classifier that can look at your MRI scans and tell what you're thinking. (Still in its infancy, but still.)

Exactly. And I can see a new sport/hobby of semi-automated driving where you can perform maneuvers that are difficult or impossible for the best humans today. [this video] is a simple example; imagine what you could do with a high-performance vehicle.
