Things that "AI" could stand for

A friend brought to my attention recently that "AI" is a common abbreviation in other fields of knowledge. In psychology, for instance, it could be short for "artificial intelligence".

Unfortunately, in animal science, it is short for "artificial insemination".

I propose a different shorthand for our beloved graduate school. How about "GI" -- short for "Gus Institute"? (And other more obvious, more heroic meanings?) Personally, I will only use the designation "the Institute" from now on.

How about "artificial intoxication" or "angular indigestion" or "acrid insensitivity?"
