Introduction to artificial intelligence lecture 1
This document provides an introduction to artificial intelligence. It defines intelligence as the ability to solve problems, think, plan, learn, recognize patterns, and handle ambiguous situations. The document then asks if machines can exhibit these intelligent behaviors such as searching meshes, solving sequences, developing plans, diagnosing issues, answering questions, recognizing fingerprints, understanding concepts, and perceiving the world. It states that the goal of AI is to create systems that can learn, think, perceive, analyze and act like humans. Early work in AI included the development of programs that used logic to solve problems like humans. Current areas of AI research include computer vision, natural language processing, expert systems, robotics, and creating human-like robots.

- 2. How can we define Intelligence? • ability of problem solving • the ability to think, plan and schedule • memory and correct and efficient memory and information manipulation • ability to tackle ambiguous and fuzzy problems • ability to learn and recognize • ability to understand and perceive
- 3. A machine searches through a mesh and finds a path? A machine solves problems like the next number in the sequence? A machine develops plans? A machine diagnoses and prescribes? A machine answers ambiguous questions? A machine recognizes fingerprints? A machine understands? A machine perceives? A machine does MANY MORE SUCH THINGS! A machine behaves as HUMANS do? HUMANOID!!!
- 6. Artificial Intelligence is an effort to create systems that can learn, think, perceive, analyze and act in the same manner as real humans.
- 7. Strong AI means that machines act intelligently and they have real conscious minds. Weak AI says that machines can be made to act as if they are intelligent.
- 8. First recognized work on AI First program that though humanly Development of Lisp Microworlds Researchers started to realize problems AI becomes part of Commercial Market Neural networks reinvented
- 9. The first work that is now generally recognized as AI was done by Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts (1943). Their work based on three sources: • The basic physiology and function of neurons in the human brain • The prepositional logic • The Turing’s theory of computation
- 10. Newell and Simon’s early success was followed up with the General Problem Solver. Unlike Logic Theorist, this program was developed in the manner that it attacked a problem imitating the steps that human take when solving a problem.
