Intelligence
The ability to learn and to cope.
The ability to contemplate, think, and
reason.
Synonyms:
Brain, brainpower, mentality, mother wit,
sense, wit
Related:
Acumen, discernment, insight, judgment,
perspicacity, sagacity, wisdom
What is AI?
Intelligence: “ability to learn, understand and
think”

What is AI?
4
Definition
Artificial Intelligence is a branch of
Science which deals with helping
machines find solutions to complex
problems in a more human-like
fashion. This generally involves
borrowing characteristics from human
intelligence, and applying them as
algorithms in a computer friendly way.
5
Definition
Artificial intelligence is the simulation of
human intelligence processes by
machines, especially computer systems.
These processes include learning,
reasoning, and self-correction.
Particular applications of AI include
expert systems, speech recognitions,
etc.

More on AI . . .
AI is generally associated with Computer
Science, but it has many important links with
other fields such as Math, Psychology,
Cognition, Biology and Philosophy, among
many others.
Our ability to combine knowledge from all
these fields will ultimately benefit our
progress in the quest of creating an
intelligent artificial being.

What is AI -- Conclusions
Building intelligent entities.
Getting computers to do tasks which
require human intelligence.
Simple things turn out to be the hardest to
automate:
Recognising a face.
Navigating a busy street.
Understanding what someone says.
All tasks require reasoning on knowledge.
Goals -- Why do AI?
Two main goals of AI:
To understand human intelligence better.
We test theories of human intelligence by
writing programs which emulate it.
To create useful “smart” programs able to
do tasks that would normally require a
human expert.
Who does AI?
Many disciplines contribute:
Computer Science
Psychology -- human reasoning
Philosophy -- nature of belief, rationality,
etc
Linguistics -- structure and meaning of
language
Human Biology -- how brain works
Subject draws on ideas from each discipline.
Weak and Strong AI Claims
Weak AI:
Machines can be made to act as if
they were intelligent.
Strong AI:
Machines that act intelligently have
real, conscious minds.
Importance of AI
The importance of artificial intelligence is the
ability to create a never-ending thought process
and collective that could solve our problems.
Accomplishing this by thinking of every possible
solution. We are limited now by the number of
people who can do this. With artificial
intelligence, we could build computers, upon
thousands of computers, that could all work in
unison to solve our great and most dire
problems.

History of AI

HISTORY
The field of modern AI research was
founded at a conference on the campus of
Dartmouth College in the summer of 1956.
By the middle 60s their research was heavily
funded by the U.S. Department of Defense,
