INTRODUCTION TO ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE
What is intelligence?
Features of intelligence
what is AI? (Definitions)
System that thinks like human
System that acts like human
History of AI
Intelligence?
Are the things shown below, intelligent?
what is intelligence?
Intelligence is an umbrella term used to describe a property
of mind that includes many related abilities, such as the
capacity to
Reason
Plan
Solve problems
Think abstractly
Comprehend ideas
Use language
learn
Ex 1: searching a path …
Different mice might follow different paths based to their intelligence. In other
words: the problem can be solved in many ways
Ability to solve problems demonstrates intelligence
Ex 2
Next number in the sequence …
Consider the following sequence
1,3,7,13,21, …
What is the next number????
Key: adding the next even number …
1+2=3; 3+4=7; 7+6=13; 13+8=21; 21+10=31
1,3,7,13,21,31
Doctor Example
Ambiguity
Things not clear
Height example
Ability to answer fuzzy questions
The ability to handle, treat and execute ambiguous things.
Understanding & perception
The ability to understand and perceive things demonstrate
intelligence.
Example
Watching a lecture.
Voice mute
Recognition & learning
The ability to learn and recognize demonstrate intelligence.
Example
See faces & match
Get up of an individual
So let’s summarize …
Ability to solve problems
Ability to plan and schedule
Ability to memorize and process information
Ability to answer fuzzy questions
Ability to learn
Ability to recognize
Ability to understand
Ability to perceive
And many more …
What if?
A machine searches through a mesh and find a path?
A machine solves problem like the next number in a
sequence?
A machine develops a plan?
A machine diagnoses and prescribe?
A machine answer ambiguous question?
A machine recognizes fingerprints?
A machine understands?
A machine perceives?
A machine behaves as HUMANS do?
What is artificial intelligence?
Making computer that thinks.
The automation of activities we associate with human
thinking, like decision making, learning … ?
The art of creating machines that perform functions that
required intelligence when performed by people?
The study of mental faculties through the use of
computational models ?
The study of computations that make it possible perceive,
reason and act?
A branch of computer science that is concerned with the
automation of intelligent behaviour?
Definitions of AI
System that think like HUMANS
In 1978, the applied mathematician Richard Bellman
defined AI as the automation of activities
associated with human thinking, which include
decision- making, problem solving, and
learning.
“The study of computation that make it possible
to perceive, reason and act” (WINTSON 1992)
SYSTEM THAT act LIKE HUMANS
“The branch of computer science that is
concerned with automation of intelligent
behaviour” (Lugar and Stubblefield, 1993)
“ The art of creating machines that perform
functions that require intelligence when
performed by people” (Kurzweil 1990)
Why study AI?
LABOUR

What else?
Honda Humanoid Robot
Walk
Turn
Stairs
