Artificial Intelligence

Notes  Short-term: More modest success in restricted domains
 Performance equal or better than humans, game playing (Deep Blue), expert systems
(MYCIN)

 Real-world expediency $$$e.g., expert systems (XCON, Prospector), fuzzy logic
(cruise control)

1.6 Summary

 Artificial Intelligence (AI) is usually defined as the science of making computers do things
that require intelligence when done by humans.
 The term artificial intelligence was first coined in 1956, at the Dartmouth conference, and
since then Artificial Intelligence has expanded because of the theories and principles
developed by its dedicated researchers.
 AI-based technologies were used in missile systems, heads-up-displays, and other
advancements.
 Research in AI has focused chiefly on the following components of intelligence: learning,
reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language-understanding.

 Artificial Intelligence (AI) is both the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer
science which aims to create it.
 When learning the usual range of tasks that we might look forward to an “intelligent
entity” to perform, we require to take into account both “commonplace” tasks in addition
to expert tasks.

 Some of the most general techniques comprise the use of neural networks and the expansion
of expert systems.

 Artificial intelligence techniques are the ways that can be used to generate and produce
computer programs generally observed as forms of artificial intelligence.
 Strong AI systems are those that most completely look for to emulate human thought and
cognitive potentials through a broad range of functions.
 Artificial intelligence techniques that build up weak AI systems are narrower in focus, and
look for to imitate only a single function or facet of human intelligence.
