Study Notes
Approaches to AI
- Divided into two main perspectives: Thinking Humanly and Acting Humanly.
-
Thinking Humanly involves understanding human reasoning processes through cognitive science.
- Newell's General Problem Solver (GPS) demonstrates traces of human reasoning in problem-solving.
-
Acting Humanly focuses on machine behavior that mimics human actions.
- Turing Test is a method to evaluate a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior indistinguishable from a human.
What is AI
- Defined as the automation of tasks traditionally linked to human thought, like decision-making and problem-solving.
- Involves making computers perform tasks better than humans currently can.
View of AI
- Empirical approach focuses on mimicking human thought processes, emphasizing actual performance.
- Thinking Humanly includes creating machines that understand through psychological experimentation.
- Computational perspective emphasizes rational thought and reasoning through logical frameworks.
Turing Test
- A test to assess a machine's capability to exhibit intelligent behavior.
- Requires Natural Language Processing, Knowledge Representation, and Automated Reasoning for machines to engage fluently with humans.
Approaches to AI – Thinking and Acting Humanly
- Cognitive Science emerged in the 1960s, shifting from behaviorism to the internal workings of the mind.
- Rational approaches based on Aristotle's logical reasoning are critical to understanding AI's decision-making processes.
- Rational agents in AI are defined as entities that perceive, act autonomously, and aim to achieve goals based on best available information.
Disciplines Contributing to AI
- Philosophy: Explores reasoning, knowledge origins, and logical connections between thoughts and actions.
- Mathematics: Provides formal rules for logical deductions and computation, including undecidability and computational complexity.
- Psychology: Investigates cognitive processes and behavioral responses through experimental methods.
- Linguistics: Assesses language understanding in AI and its relation to knowledge representation.
- Neuroscience: Examines the brain's information processing mechanisms and how they correlate with AI functions.
- Control Theory: Researches self-regulating systems and their operational efficiencies in AI applications.
History of AI
- Early developments included models of neural networks and the Turing Test.
- Significant events:
- 1950: Turing’s foundational essay on computing and intelligence.
- 1956: Dartmouth meeting marked the birth of AI as a field.
- 1980s: Expert systems gained prominence, utilizing domain-specific knowledge for complex reasoning.
- AI Winter: Periods of stagnation and reduced funding due to unmet expectations.
Applications of AI
- Encompasses an array of practical uses such as:
- Autonomous vehicles: Vehicles capable of operating without human intervention.

- Game playing: Developing AI to compete in complex games.
Kinds of Intelligence
- Intelligence is characterized by the ability to learn, reason, and understand relationships.
- Distinction between Strong AI (generalized, adaptable intelligence) and Weak AI (task-specific, limited intelligence).
Current AI Capabilities
- AI systems are currently capable of tasks like:
- Driving in traffic, playing games, and engaging in voice-activated tasks.
- Assessing goals through a Theory of Mind framework for advanced interactive responsiveness.

Knowledge and Deduction in AI
- Capabilities include storing, retrieving knowledge, and interpreting or reasoning from that knowledge.
- Distinguishes between knowledge (acquisition) and understanding (realization).
- Knowledge representation methods use propositional logic and first-order logic.
- Deduction relies on logics of knowledge through various paradigms:
- Knowledge-based systems
- Expert systems
- Automated theorems
- Formal verification
- Technological memory advancements enabled extensive knowledge bases (1990-2000).
