• Artificial Intelligence (AI)


  A group of related technologies used for developing machines to emulate human qualities, such as learning, reasoning, communicating, seeing, and hearing
• Main areas of AI


  • Expert System
  • Natural language Processing
  • Intelligent agents
  • Pattern Recognition
  • Fuzzy Logic
  • Virtual Reality and Simulation Devices
  • Robotics
• How AI works

  It is a system imbued with knowledge by human experts
• Three Components of an Expert System

  • Knowledge Base
  • Inference Engine
  • User Interface
• Knowledge Base


  An expert system's database of knowledge about a particular subject, including relevant facts, information, beliefs, assumptions, and procedures for solving problems
• Inference Engine


  The software that controls the search of the expert system's knowledge base and produces conclusions
• User Interface


  Gives the user the ability to ask questions and get answers
• Natural Language Processing


  The study of ways for computers to recognize and understand human language
• Intelligent Agents


  A form of software with built-in intelligence that monitors work patterns, ask questions, and perform work tasks on your behalf
• Pattern Recognition


  Involves a camera and software that identify recurring patterns in what they are seeing and recognize the connections between the perceived patterns and similar patterns stored in a database
• Fuzzy Logic


  A method of dealing with imprecise data and uncertainty, with problems that have many answers rather than one
• Virtual Reality (VR)


  A computer-generated artificial reality that projects a person into a sensation of three-dimensional space
• Simulators


  Devices that represent the behavior of physical or abstract system
• Robotics


  The development and study of machines that can perform work that is normally done by people. The machines themselves are called robots.
• Robot


  An automatic device that performs functions ordinarily executed by human beings or that operates with what appears to be almost human intelligence
• Robotics


  The development and study of machines that can perform work that is normally done by people. The machines themselves are called robots.
• "robot" is derived from the Czech word for "compulsory labor"

• SOJOUNER


  • A Robot used in NASA's 1997 pathfinder exploration of Mars
• Weak AI


  Makes the claim that computers can be programmed to simulate human cognition, that some "thinking like" features can be added to computers to make them more useful tools
• SOJOUNER


  • A Robot used in NASA's 1997 pathfinder exploration of Mars
• Strong AI


  Makes the claim that computers can be made to think on a level that is at least equal to humans and possibly even be conscious of themselves
• Weak AI


  Makes the claim that computers can be programmed to simulate human cognition, that some "thinking like" features can be added to computers to make them more useful tools
• Cyc


  • Pronounced as "psych". Stuffing database with facts and rules

• Cog


  • Using sensory systems to search for patterns
• Cog


  • Using sensory systems to search for patterns
• Neural networks


  • Mimic the neurological structure of a human brain
• Neural networks


  • Mimic the neurological structure of a human brain
• Genetic algorithms


  • Programs that uses Darwinians principles of random mutation to improve itself. Computer codes that act like a living organism
• Cyborgs


  • Hybrids of machines and organisms
