- Branches of AI
- AI foundations (Philosophy, Mathematics, Economics, Neuroscience, Psychology, Computer Engineering, Linguistics)
- AI history
- Conclusion
Introduction (Chapter 1)
- Introduces the core concepts of AI.
What is AI?
- AI is defined as the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, capable of performing tasks that require intelligence when performed by humans.
- Different perspectives on thinking (humanly or rationally) and acting (humanly or rationally) are presented as possible approaches to defining AI
- Acting Humanly: The Turing Test
- Alan Turing's 1950 article discussed conditions for considering a machine intelligent.
- The Turing Test is an operational definition of intelligence.
- Key requirements include Natural Language Processing, Knowledge Representation, Automated Reasoning, and Machine Learning.
- Thinking Humanly: Cognitive Science
- Thinking Rationally: Laws of Thought
- Acting Rationally: The Rational Agent
- Acting Humanly: The Turing Test
What tasks require AI?
- Numerous tasks need AI, including:
- Solving complex mathematical problems like differential equations
- Complex medical procedures such as brain surgery.
- Common tasks like playing games of strategy.
- Everyday human activities such as walking, reacting to stimuli, daydreaming
How to achieve AI?
- Al research is done with both theoretical and experimental sides, which have basic and applied aspects.
- Two main lines of research to achieve AI
- Biological Approach: Aiming to study human intelligence by studying human psychology and physiology, then imitating it.
- Phenomenological Approach: focused on studying and structuring commonsense facts and situations to achieve specific goals in the real world.
- These methods interact and will each contribute to advancing AI.
Branches of AI
- Logical AI
- Search techniques
- Natural language processing
- Pattern recognition
- Knowledge representation
- Inference (logic based reasoning)
- Automated reasoning
- Learning from experience
- Planning
- Ontology (classification of things)
- Genetic programming
- Emotions
AI Foundations (Part I)
- Philosophy:
- Can formal rules be used to draw valid conclusions?
- How does the mind emerge from a physical brain?
- Where does knowledge come from?
- How does knowledge lead to action?
- Mathematics:
- What are the formal rules needed for drawing valid conclusions?
- What is computable?
- How do we reason with uncertain information?
AI Foundations (Part II)
- Economics:
- How should choices be made to maximize rewards?
- How to account for others' actions, and the time scale of potential results?
- Neuroscience:
- How do brains process information?
- Psychology:
- How do humans and animals think and act?
AI Foundations (Part III)
- Computer Engineering:
- How can efficient computers be designed?
- Control Theory and Cybernetics
- How can artifacts/machines operate autonomously?
- Linguistics:
- How does language relate to thought?
AI History
- The history of AI goes though cycles of funding, success and optimism
- Recent progress in AI has been faster due to using scientific methodology
- AI has developed alongside other fields, finding common ground in their solutions.
- Key milestones in AI development: (e.g., 1943, 1950, 1952-69, 1950s, 1956, 1965….)
Conclusions
- Different goals influence how people approach AI
- Focus on rational action as a base for intelligences.
- The goal is ultimately to create intelligent agents that make the best decisions in every given situations.
