    Study Notes

    Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

    • Intelligence encompasses the ability to acquire knowledge, benefit from past experiences, solve problems decisively, and adapt to new situations.
    • John McCarthy coined the term "Artificial Intelligence" (AI), which focuses on designing intelligent computer systems that mimic human behavior.
    • AI relies on symbolic knowledge representation and heuristic methods to process information efficiently.

    Triarchic Theory of Intelligence

    • Proposed by Robert Sternberg, the theory categorizes intelligence into three types:
      • Practical Intelligence: Ability to function effectively in specific contexts by using past experiences.
      • Creative Intelligence: Ability to produce new ideas and adapt to novel situations.
      • Analytical Intelligence: Assessed through standard IQ tests, focusing on logical reasoning and problem-solving skills.

    Philosophy and Induction

    • Philosophical inquiries about the mind include exploration of consciousness and knowledge acquisition.
    • David Hume's principle of induction asserts that general rules arise from repeated associations between elements.
    • Rudolf Carnap and Carl Hempel analyzed knowledge acquisition, proposing theories to quantify beliefs based on logical sentences.

    Neuroscience

    • Neuroscience studies the nervous system, particularly the brain, to understand thought processes.
    • Key findings highlight that, while computers perform computations faster, the human brain has superior storage and connectivity capabilities.
    • Advancements such as EEG and fMRI have enhanced the ability to measure and visualize brain activity related to cognitive functions.

    Mathematics and Formal Logic

    • The development of formal logic was initiated by George Boole, enhancing the understanding of propositional logic.
    • Gerolamo Cardano introduced probability theory, framing it around outcomes of events, crucial for handling uncertainty in AI.
    • Statistical methods evolved from the formalization of probability, leading to the emergence of statistics as a fundamental field in AI.

    Key Developments in AI

    • Doug Engelbart advocated for intelligence augmentation, emphasizing collaboration between human abilities and computer technology.
    • Common applications of AI encompass problem-solving strategies and understanding natural languages which relate to human cognition.

    Implementation Areas of Artificial Intelligence

    • AI has diverse applications, including:
      • Problem Solving: Early focus of AI research aimed to replicate human problem-solving methods.
      • Game Playing: Initial studies utilized games like checkers and chess to represent configurations easily in computer systems.
      • Natural Language Processing (NLP): The objective is to develop systems that understand human languages, enabling conversational interactions.

    Concept of Rationality

    • Rationality in AI is determined by several factors:
      • The performance measures defining success criteria.
      • Prior knowledge the agent possesses about its environment.
      • The feasible actions available to the agent.
      • The cumulative sequence of perceptions experienced by the agent over time.
