Study Notes
Historical Developments of Artificial Intelligence
- Aristotle (384-322 BC) introduced syllogisms, a form of logical reasoning, for foundational modern logic and rule-based AI.
- Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) designed a theoretical computing machine, emphasizing the need for advancements in computing for AI.
- Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) drew parallels between reasoning and computation, proposing human decision-making could be formalized mathematically.
- René Descartes (1596-1650) suggested rationality could be represented mathematically, influencing AI's focus on decision-making models.
- David Hume (1711-1776) studied logical induction and causation, fundamental principles of machine learning.
- The Dartmouth Conference (1956) is considered the birth of AI as a research field, coining the term "Artificial Intelligence."
- Alan Turing (1912-1954) developed the Turing Test to evaluate machine intelligence.
- John McCarthy (1927-2011) coined "Artificial Intelligence" and developed Lisp, a key programming language for AI.
- Marvin Minsky (1927-2016) co-founded MIT's AI laboratory and contributed to cognitive science and robotics.
- ENIAC programmers (Kathleen McNulty and Betty Jean Jennings) were early female programmers, contributing to the first general-purpose computer.
- Dartmouth College, MIT, IBM, and DARPA played significant roles in advancing AI research.
- Decision theory uses probability and utility for decision-making in AI.
AI Winters
- "AI winter" refers to periods of reduced funding, research interest, and optimism in AI, analogous to "nuclear winter."
- The first AI winter occurred between 1974 and 1980, triggered by initial AI excitement around machine translation and neural networks, but failed to deliver practical results, particularly in language translation.
- The second happened between 1987 and 1993, caused by the collapse of the Lisp machine business, scalability issues with expert systems, and the failure of government-funded projects.
- Factors contributing to AI winters include unrealistic expectations, funding cuts, better alternatives, and technical limitations.
- Lessons learned from AI winters include setting realistic expectations, fostering incremental improvements, encouraging long-term funding, and considering ethical and regulatory aspects.
- AI is now embedded in everyday technologies, making future AI winters less likely.
Notable Advances in Artificial Intelligence
- Early AI research focused on symbolic reasoning, representing human intelligence through logic and rule-based systems.
- The General Problem Solver (GPS) aimed to solve problems sequentially but lacked real-world effectiveness.
- Microworlds explored problem-solving in simplified environments.
- Knowledge-based systems (1980-1987) shifted from logic to knowledge, recognizing common sense knowledge.
- Expert systems used knowledge bases and inference engines for conclusions.
- Deep learning (2012-present) leveraged neural networks for human-level performance in image recognition, speech processing, and autonomous decision-making.
- Google's AlphaGo (2016) defeated a human Go champion, demonstrating AI capabilities.
- AlphaZero (2018) learned chess, Go, and Shogi without human input, showcasing AI self-improvement.
- The 1990s saw advances in game-playing AI, with IBM's Deep Blue defeating Garry Kasparov in chess.
- Natural Language Processing (NLP) models like GPT-4 and BERT enable AI to understand and generate human language.
Cognitive Science
- Cognitive science studies mental processes like perception, memory, reasoning, and problem-solving.
- It examines how individuals interact with their environment, their ability to learn, adapt, and solve problems.
- Cognitive science considers language, memory, perception, emotion, reasoning, learning, and other mental functions.
- Cognitive science unifies different disciplines, such as philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and linguistics, to analyze mental functions.
- Cognitive science provides frameworks to understand human thinking to create models for AI.
- Critiques of cognitive science include its focus on logic over emotion and subjective experience, and its challenges in explaining consciousness.
Neuroscience and AI
- Neuroscience studies the biological mechanisms of the brain.
- Cognitive science analyzes mental processes using methods like brain imaging and behavioral experiments.
- AI replicates intelligence to create computational models of processes.
- AI in neural networks is inspired by biological neurons, enabling pattern recognition, image processing, and decision-making.
- Machine learning techniques, like deep learning, leverage neural networks to achieve human-level performance in areas like image recognition, speech processing, and autonomous decision-making.
- Neuroscience inspires AI development by providing frameworks for learning, reasoning, and problem-solving, and understanding cognitive processes.
- Current cognitive science struggles to explain subjective experience and often overemphasizes logic over emotions.
Overview of Expert Systems
- Expert systems aim to mimic human experts' problem-solving abilities.
- Systems are based on formalized knowledge and use inference engines for conclusions.
- They are applied in medicine, engineering, and finance.
- Case-based systems use past problems to solve new ones, while rule-based systems use 'if-then' rules.
- Expert systems use decision trees for choices.
- Expert systems include a knowledge base, containing facts, rules, and heuristics.
- Inference engines process the knowledge base for conclusions.
- Expert systems often struggle with scalability and consistency as their knowledge bases grow.
- The prominence of expert systems waned after the 1980s.
- Increased research in machine learning and statistical AI models led to more flexible and faster-performing alternatives.
Prolog
- Prolog is a programming language designed for logic-based AI applications.
- Prolog utilizes 'facts,' 'rules,' and 'queries' – creating logic-based structures and knowledge representation.
- Knowledge representation and the use of 'facts' and 'rules' are key design characteristics of Prolog.
- Prolog excels in handling symbolic processing, particularly in language comprehension, problem-solving, inference, and pattern matching.
- Prolog's design principles make it well-suited for representing and processing symbolic knowledge.
Natural Language Processing (NLP)
- NLP enables computers to interpret and generate human language.
- Components include speech recognition (converting speech to text), language understanding (extracting meaning from text), and language generation (creating human-like text).
- Applications include virtual assistants, translation, sentiment analysis, and chatbots.
- Challenges include ambiguity in words' meanings, understanding context and nuances, real-time processing, and high accuracy.
Computer Vision
- Computer vision enables AI to 'see' and interpret imagery.
- Key stages involve image acquisition, feature extraction using edges, shapes, patterns, and colors.
- Applications include object recognition, facial recognition, medical imaging, autonomous vehicles, and retail analytics.
- Difficulties include variations in images (lighting, angle), bias in data sets, and the computational resources required for processing.
Al in Mobility and Autonomous Vehicles
- AI is revolutionizing mobility through self-driving cars, smart mobility, and intermodal transport networks.
- AI optimizes car and ride-sharing platforms for efficiency and reduces traffic congestion, improves road safety, and develops personalized transport options.

- The integration of different transport modes (buses, trains, bicycles, ride-sharing) with AI is improving efficiency and customer experience.
- Challenges include liability concerns, ethical dilemmas, public acceptance, and data privacy issues in autonomous vehicles.
- The use of cloud computing is enabling advanced features for autonomous vehicles.
- Al cameras inside vehicles can detect factors like fatigue, distraction, and intoxication to keep drivers safe.
