ABSTRACT

This paper is the introduction to Artificial intelligence (AI). Artificial

intelligence is exhibited by artificial entity, a system is generally assumed to be a
computer. AI systems are now in routine use in economics, medicine, engineering
and the military, as well as being built into many common home computer
software applications, traditional strategy games like computer chess and other
video games.

We tried to explain the brief ideas of AI and its application to various

fields. It cleared the concept of computational and conventional categories. It
includes various advanced systems such as Neural Network, Fuzzy Systems and
Evolutionary computation. AI is used in typical problems such as Pattern
recognition, Natural language processing and more. This system is working
throughout the world as an artificial brain.

Intelligence involves mechanisms, and AI research has discovered how to

make computers carry out some of them and not others. If doing a task requires
only mechanisms that are well understood today, computer programs can give
very impressive performances on these tasks. Such programs should be
considered ``somewhat intelligent''. It is related to the similar task of using
computers to understand human intelligence.

We can learn something about how to make machines solve problems by

observing other people or just by observing our own methods. On the other hand,
most work in AI involves studying the problems the world presents to intelligence
rather than studying people or animals. AI researchers are free to use methods that
are not observed in people or that involve much more computing than people can
do. We discussed conditions for considering a machine to be intelligent. We
argued that if the machine could successfully pretend to be human to a
knowledgeable observer then you certainly should consider it intelligent.

INTRODUCTION :-

Artificial intelligence (AI) :-

Artificial intelligence (AI) is defined as intelligence exhibited by an

artificial entity. Such a system is generally assumed to be a computer.

Although AI has a strong science fiction connotation, it forms a vital

branch of computer science, dealing with intelligent behaviour, learning and
adaptation in machines. Research in AI is concerned with producing machines to
automate tasks requiring intelligent behavior. Examples include control, planning
and scheduling, the ability to answer diagnostic and consumer questions,
handwriting, speech, and facial recognition. As such, it has become a scientific
discipline, focused on providing solutions to real life problems. AI systems are
now in routine use in economics, medicine, engineering and the military, as well
as being built into many common home computer software applications,
traditional strategy games like computer chess and other video games.

History :-

The intellectual roots of AI, and the concept of intelligent machines,

may be found in Greek mythology. Intelligent artifacts appear in literature
since then, with real mechanical devices actually demonstrating behaviour
with some degree of intelligence. After modern computers became
available following World War-II, it has become possible to create
programs that perform difficult intellectual tasks.

1950 - 1960:-

The first working AI programs were written in 1951 to run on the Ferranti
Mark I machine of the University of Manchester (UK): a draughts-playing
program written by Christopher Strachey and a chess-playing program written by
Dietrich Prinz.

1960 – 1970 :-

During the 1960s and 1970s Marvin Minsky and Seymour Papert publish
Perceptrons, demonstrating limits of simple neural nets and Alain Colmerauer
developed the Prolog computer language. Ted Shortliffe demonstrated the power
of rule-based systems for knowledge representation and inference in medical
diagnosis and therapy in what is sometimes called the first expert system. Hans
Moravec developed the first computer-controlled vehicle to autonomously
negotiate cluttered obstacle courses.

1980’s ONWARDS :-

In the 1980s, neural networks became widely used with the back
propagation algorithm, first described by Paul John Werbos in 1974. The 1990s
marked major achievements in many areas of AI and demonstrations of various
applications. Most notably Deep Blue, a chess-playing computer, beat Garry
Kasparov in a famous six-game match in 1997.

Categories of AI :-

AI divides roughly into two schools of thought:

 Conventional AI.
 Computational Intelligence (CI).

Conventional AI :-

Conventional AI mostly involves methods now classified as machine

learning, characterized by formalism and statistical analysis. This is also known as

 SeminarsTopics.com

symbolic AI, logical AI, neat AI and Good Old Fashioned Artificial Intelligence
(GOFAI).

Methods include:

 Expert systems: apply reasoning capabilities to reach a conclusion. An

expert system can process large amounts of known information and provide
conclusions based on them.
 Case based reasoning
 Bayesian networks
 Behavior based AI: a modular method of building AI systems by hand.
Computational Intelligence (CI) :-

Computational Intelligence involves iterative development or learning

(e.g. parameter tuning e.g. in connectionist systems). Learning is based on
empirical data and is associated with non-symbolic AI, scruffy AI and soft
computing.

Methods include:

 Neural networks: systems with very strong pattern recognition

capabilities.
 Fuzzy systems: techniques for reasoning under uncertainty, has been
widely used in modern industrial and consumer product control systems.
 Evolutionary computation: applies biologically inspired concepts such as
populations, mutation and survival of the fittest to generate increasingly better
solutions to the problem. These methods most notably divide into evolutionary
algorithms (e.g. genetic algorithms) and swarm intelligence (e.g. ant algorithms).

Typical problems to which AI methods are applied :-

 Pattern recognition
o Optical character recognition

American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) :-

Founded in 1979, the American Association for Artificial Intelligence

(AAAI) is a nonprofit scientific society devoted to advancing the scientific

7

understanding of the mechanisms underlying thought and intelligent behaviour

and their embodiment in machines. AAAI also aims to increase public
understanding of artificial intelligence, improve the teaching and training of AI
practitioners, and provide guidance for research planners and funders concerning
the importance and potential of current AI developments and future directions.

APPLICATIONS OF AI :-

 Game Playing :-
You can buy machines that can play master level chess for a few hundred
dollars. There is some AI in them, but they play well against people mainly
through brute force computation--looking at hundreds of thousands of positions.
 Speech Recognition :-
In the 1990s, computer speech recognition reached a practical level
for limited purposes. Thus United Airlines has replaced its keyboard tree
for flight information by a system using speech recognition of flight
numbers and city names. It is quite convenient. On the other hand, while it
is possible to instruct some computers using speech, most users have gone back to
the keyboard and the mouse as still more convenient.

 Understanding Natural Language :-

Just getting a sequence of words into a computer is not enough. Parsing
sentences is not enough either. The computer has to be provided with an
understanding of the domain the text is about, and this is presently possible only
for very limited domains.
 Computer Vision :-
The world is composed of three-dimensional objects, but the inputs to the
human eye and computer’s TV cameras are two dimensional. Some useful

8
SeminarsTopics.com

programs can work solely in two dimensions, but full computer vision requires
partial three-dimensional information that is not just a set of two-dimensional
views. At present there are only limited ways of representing three-dimensional
information directly, and they are not as good as what humans evidently use.
 Expert Systems :-
A ``knowledge engineer'' interviews experts in a certain domain and tries
to embody their knowledge in a computer program for carrying out some task.
How well this works depends on whether the intellectual mechanisms required for
the task are within the present state of AI. One of the first expert systems was
MYCIN in 1974, which diagnosed bacterial infections of the blood and suggested
treatments. It did better than medical students or practicing doctors, provided its
limitations were observed.
 Heuristic Classification :-
One of the most feasible kinds of expert system given the present
knowledge of AI is to put some information in one of a fixed set of categories
using several sources of information. An example is advising whether to accept a
proposed credit card purchase. Information is available about the owner of the
credit card, his record of payment and also about the item he is buying and about
the establishment from which he is buying it (e.g., about whether there have been
previous credit card frauds at this establishment).

Conclusion :-

We conclude that if the machine could successfully pretend to be human to

a knowledgeable observer then you certainly should consider it intelligent. AI
systems are now in routine use in various field such as economics, medicine,
engineering and the military, as well as being built into many common home
computer software applications, traditional strategy games etc.
AI is an exciting and rewarding discipline. AI is branch of computer
science that is concerned with the automation of intelligent behavior. The
revised definition of AI is - AI is the study of mechanisms underlying

intelligent behavior through the construction and evaluation of artifacts that

attempt to enact those mechanisms. So it is concluded that it work as an
artificial human brain which have an unbelievable artificial thinking power.
