    Study Notes

    Artificial Intelligence (CSB2104)

    • 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.
