Study Notes

Propositional Logic

Propositional variables are used to represent propositional logic, which are often represented by uppercase letters (e.g. P, Q, R).
A proposition is a statement that can be either true or false.
A tautology is a statement that is always true, while a contradiction is a statement that is always false.
Example of an atomic proposition: "It is raining."

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI systems can be defined in four ways: as a system that thinks like a human, as a system that acts like a human, as a system that thinks rationally, or as a system that acts rationally.
Tasks that require AI include natural language processing, computer vision, and expert systems.
The Turing Test aims to determine whether a machine is capable of exhibiting intelligent behavior equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human.
Examples of tasks that may not necessarily require AI include playing chess or recognizing faces.
The goal of AI is to create intelligent machines that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.

Criteria for Intelligent Systems

Criteria for defining intelligent systems include thinking like a human, acting like a human, thinking rationally, and acting rationally.
The four main capabilities a computer needs to possess to pass the Turing Test are natural language understanding, problem-solving, learning, and perception.

Turing Test Limitations

The 'Cognitive Revolution' brought a focus on cognitive processes and representations to the field of AI.
The two problems/limitations of the Turing Test are that it only tests language-based interactions and that it does not provide a clear measure of intelligence.
To pass the Total Turing Test, a computer would need to possess additional capabilities such as vision, hearing, and robotics.

Rational Agent

Aristotle attempted to codify human reasoning and argumentation.
The rational agent in AI aims to make the best decision given the available information and options.
AI research is conducted through a combination of theoretical work, experimentation, and simulation.
Acting rationally offers several advantages in AI, including making optimal decisions and maximizing expected utility.

Cognitive Science

The three approaches used to validate models in cognitive science are testing against human behavior, testing against neurological data, and testing against other cognitive models.
The four main capabilities included in the rational agent's view of AI are reasoning, problem-solving, learning, and decision-making.
