Study Notes

Animal Intelligence

Involves both instinctive and learned behaviors for survival
Examples:
- Rats navigating mazes for food
- Ants finding shortest paths to food
- Humans using crowdsourcing for solutions
- Collective intelligence emerges from synergy of individuals working together

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Aims to emulate human cognition, reasoning, and problem-solving abilities
Potential application in various fields: healthcare, education, finance, space exploration

Schools of Thought in AI (Russel & Norvig)

Thinking humanly: Focuses on imitating human thought processes, involves:
- Natural Language Processing (NLP): Comprehension and generation of human language
- Knowledge Representation: How to codify knowledge for querying and understanding
- Automated Reasoning: Inferring answers from knowledge bases
- Machine Learning: Detecting patterns and making predictions
Thinking rationally: Adheres to established laws of logic for problem-solving, involves:
- Laws of Thought: Using logical rules and mathematical reasoning
- Historical Foundations: Rooted in classical Greek philosophy and formalized logics (propositional and first-order logic)

The Rational Agent Approach

Agents act based on perception to maximize goal achievement
Inspired by neuroscience's understanding of the human brain and its neural networks

Multidisciplinary Pillars of AI

Neuroscience: Understanding brain function informs AI development
Psychology: Human behavior and thought informs AI that thinks and learns like humans
Computer Engineering: Provides hardware and software infrastructure for AI functionalities
Control Theory & Cybernetics: Governs systems control, aiding AI's self-regulation and adaptation
Linguistics: Understanding language is crucial for natural language processing in AI

Types/Levels of AI

Reactive Machines: Simplest level, react to immediate inputs without memory or learning
- Example: IBM Deep Blue chess computer
Limited Memory Machines: Learn from past experiences and data but not human-like cognition
- Examples: Self-driving cars, autonomous vehicles, social robots like Sophia
Theory of Mind AI: Hypothetical AI with understanding of human emotions, beliefs, and intentions (still in development)
Self-Aware AI: Most advanced hypothetical AI with own consciousness and self-awareness

Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI)

Task-specific and optimized for particular operations
Non-sentient, lacking self-awareness
Functions within a set scope, unable to improvise
Dominant form of AI in use today

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)

Aims to emulate human-level versatile cognitive abilities
Theoretical machines capable of understanding, learning, and applying intelligence across various tasks
No current examples exist; remains a theoretical concept

Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI)

Hypothetical AI surpassing all human capabilities, including cognitive functions
Machines would excel in intellectual tasks with greater efficiency and speed
Remains a science fiction/theoretical concept, not a reality

Deep Blue

Supercomputer designed to play chess at grandmaster level
30 high-performance processors, 480 custom VLSI chess processors
Average search: 126 million nodes per second, Peak performance: 330 million nodes per second
Uses advanced search algorithms (iterative deepening, alpha-beta minimax), sophisticated techniques (transposition tables, singular extensions), and chess-specific heuristics
Victory over Garry Kasparov marked significant milestone in AI development

IBM Watson

Powerful AI system that won the game show Jeopardy in 2011, showcasing Natural Language Understanding (NLU)
Utilizes automatic speech recognition (ASR) for understanding spoken clues
Uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyze complex language patterns
Employs machine learning for generating hypotheses, scoring evidence, and providing confidence ratings
Exhibits information extraction techniques like Named Entity Recognition (NER) and Relation Extraction from data

Applications of AI

Deep Blue demonstrates advancements in game AI
IBM Watson showcases AI's capabilities in natural language understanding and information extraction
AI revolutionizes various fields, including healthcare, transportation, education, finance, and entertainment
