What is Artificial Intelligence?
- Machine Intelligence: AI is making machines "intelligent" -- acting
as we would expect people to act.
Turing
Test: The inability to distinguish computer responses from human
responses is called the Turing test.
Intelligence requires knowledge: When does a human become
intelligent?
Problem Solving: Expert problem solving - restricting domain to
allow including significant relevant knowledge
Definitions
- Almost as many attempts have been made to define Artificial
Intelligence (A.I), as have been made to create a system which exhibits
qualities regarded as being synonymous with intelligence. The Problem
lies in our inability to define Intelligence.
- Pyle has pointed out that Intelligence is very much situation
dependent.
For instance,
lost in a maze-ability to find a route out.
shipwrecked on an island-ability to survive
- A definition provided by Marvin Minsky states: AI is the science of making machines do things that would require
intelligence if done by man.
AI Topics
- Routine tasks, perception, vision and speech.
- Natural language, understanding, generation and translation.
- Common-sense reasoning and robotics.
- Formal tasks, games: chess, backgammon.
- Mathematics: geometry, logic, proving properties of programs
- Expert tasks, engineering, design, fault finding, planning.
- Scientific analysis, Medical diagnosis and Financial analysis
- Other areas:Automated reasoning and theorem proving, planning,
machine learning, case-based reasoning, distributed artificial
intelligence, neural networks, etc.
