  • Course instructor: Prof. Abdel-Rahman Hedar
  • Course overview: This course provides an introduction to Artificial Intelligence.
  • Course content includes:
    • What is AI?
    • Tasks requiring AI
    • How to achieve AI
    • 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

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.
