What is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a field focused on creating programmed systems that can mimic human activities, such as perceiving, thinking, learning, and acting.

Intelligent Agent

A software agent is a set of programs designed to complete specific tasks.
- Examples include email sorting agents and search engines.
A physical agent (robot) is a programmable system capable of performing various tasks.
- Simple robots can be used in manufacturing for routine jobs like assembling, welding, or painting.
- Mobile robots can perform delivery tasks, like distributing mail or underwater oil prospecting.
- A humanoid robot is an autonomous mobile robot designed to mimic human behavior.
Fundamental faculties of intelligence include:
- Acting
- Sensing
- Reasoning (understanding)
- Learning
An Intelligent Agent must:
- Sense
- Act
- Be autonomous (to some extent)
- Be rational

AI in Robotics

The agent is called a robot agent.
The environment is the surrounding area.
Robots use sensors like cameras and microphones to perceive the environment.
They utilize motors and actuators to interact with the environment.

AI in Medicine

The agent is called a diagnostic agent.
