Is there any other (possibly less popular) approach to create AI apart from statistical methods?

From what I have gathered so far, an AI has some prior (stored in the form of some probability distribution), and, based on experiences/data, changes the distribution (via Bayes rule) accordingly. This idea seems intuitively correct, as humans do…
