    What is Intelligence?

    • The ability to learn about, learn from, understand, and interact with one's environment.
    • Understanding is key, but not avoiding mistakes.
    • Key Characteristics include: ability to communicate, creativity, ability to learn, knowledge of oneself and the world, goal-directed, and self-awareness

    A Hierarchical Model of Intelligence

    • A model with a pyramid structure
    • Data is the base layer.
    • Context, experience, and vision lead to knowledge
    • and wisdom is the highest level.

    What Is Artificial Intelligence?

    • AI refers to simulating human intelligence in machines
    • These machines are programmed to think and learn.
    • AI involves developing algorithms and computer programs to perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence. This includes visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and language translation.

    What Intelligent Systems Should Do

    • Perform tasks typically done by experts.
    • Be more autonomous with reduced need for intervention or monitoring.
    • Be flexible to accommodate environmental variability.
    • Be user-friendly and understand user intent from limited instructions.
    • Improve performance through learning from experience.

    Test Your Knowledge (Questions and Answers)

    • Question 1: Identifying non-characteristics of intelligent systems. The correct answer is dependence on constant human monitoring
    • Question 2: What enables intelligent systems to be easier to use? Ability to understand user intent from limited instructions is the correct answer.

    What Is Artificial Intelligence? (Alternative Definitions)

    • Reproduction of the methods and results of human reasoning.
    • A branch of Computer Science concerned with automating intelligent behavior.
    • The design of intelligence within artificial devices.
    • A field of computer science that simulates human performance to enable computers to reason like humans.

    Four Main Approaches to Artificial Intelligence

    • Thinking Humanly (cognitive modeling)
    • Thinking Rationally (laws of thought)
    • Acting Humanly (Turing Test)
    • Acting Rationally (rational agent)

    How to Achieve AI?

    • A table defining four categories:
      • Thought (human-like thinking, rational thinking)
      • Behaviour (human-like action, rational action).

    Acting Humanly (Turing Test)

    • A test to determine if a machine can exhibit intelligent behavior similar to humans.
    • The test involves a human evaluator interacting with both a human and a machine.
    • If the evaluator cannot reliably distinguish between the responses of the human and the machine, the machine is said to have passed the Turing Test.

    Turing Test Example

    • The method involves a human questioner, a computer, and another human answering questions.
    • The goal is for the human questioner to not be able to tell whether they are interacting with a human or a machine.

    Systems that act like humans

    • Human questioners can test machine's ability, through a teletype system, to pass the Turing test.
    • The computer must exhibit human-level cognitive task performance
    • Key capabilities for passing include natural language processing, knowledge representation, automatic reasoning, and machine learning.
    • The Turing Test excludes physical interaction
    • Requirements for objects include computer vision and robotics.

    Test Your Knowledge (Turing Test)

    • Question 1: Correct answer involves a scenario where the human cannot tell if they are interacting with a human or a machine through remote communication.

    Systems that Think Rationally

    • Rationality: making optimal decisions in situations based on available information.
    • Focus is on logical rules and formal representation, not necessarily mimicking human thought.
    • Syllogism: a form of deductive reasoning used to determine deductions from facts/definitions, such as the Socrates example.

    Rational Agent

    • An agent that acts to achieve the best or expected outcome when confronted with uncertainty or several factors.
    • Rational behavior entails making accurate decisions and executing the optimal actions.

    Relations to Other Fields

    • Draws on philosophy (logic, methods of reasoning), mathematics (formal representation, algorithms), economics (decision theory), neuroscience (information processing units), psychology (human behaviour and cognitive processes).
    • Relevant areas include computer engineering (building fast computers) control theory (systems optimization), and linguistics (grammar and representation of knowledge).

    A (Short) History of AI

    • Covers various eras, including early days (1940s-1950s), excitement of early programs (1950s-1970s), knowledge-based approaches (1970s-1990s), resurgence of statistical approaches (1990s-2012).
    • Recent years have seen renewed interest in neural networks and big data.

    Applications of AI

    • AI powers numerous applications such as language translation, news aggregation, speech and song recognition, image and face recognition, question answering, 3D scene construction from images, driverless cars, chatbots, and augmented reality.

    State of AI Systems in Practice

    • AI is now used in email communications, social media, web searching, and stores/services.

    The main topics in AI

    • Covers core areas like knowledge representation, reasoning, search, problem solving, learning, pattern recognition, planning, and interacting with the environment (e.g., vision, speech recognition, robotics)
    • Includes expert systems, a significant area.

    Challenges and Risks of AI

    • Ethical concerns such as privacy, bias (in algorithms/data), and accountability.
    • Job displacement due to automation.
    • Security risks of sophisticated systems becoming vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
    • Biased decisions made in applications such as loan decisions or parole decisions.

    Questions

    • Various questions related to defining intelligence, approaches to AI, Turing Test design, relationship between AI and natural intelligence. AI’s projected 5 and 10-year capabilities.
