Dr Rong Qu Module Introduction

 What is AI?  Module introduction ◦ Aims of the module ◦ Module context ◦ Textbooks + useful readings ◦ Lecture resources ◦ Assessments ◦ Info of previous exams Dr R. QuG51IAI - Module Introduction

 Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence exhibited by machines or software. It is an academic field of study which studies the goal of creating intelligence.  Major AI researchers and textbooks define this field as "the study and design of intelligent agents", where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success.  John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1955, defines it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines" Wikipedia, 2015 Dr R. QuG51IAI - Module Introduction

 AI is the study of how to make computers do things which, at the moment, people do better. Elaine Rich, 1991  AI is a branch of computer science and engineering that deals with intelligent behaviour, learning, and adaptation in machines. Wikipedia, 2009 Dr R. QuG51IAI - Module Introduction

 Can machines ever be intelligent? ◦ A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) ◦ Director: Steven Spielberg ◦ Philosophy film ◦ Other movies about AI? Dr R. QuG51IAI - Module Introduction

Wolfgang von Kempelen “The Turk” 18th Century Chess Automaton

G51IAI - Module Introduction

 IBM Deep Blue ◦ Chess champion Garry Kasparov ◦ 11 May 1997 ◦ 2 vs. 1, three draws Dr R. QuG51IAI - Module Introduction

 What is intelligence? ◦ Understanding languages ◦ Automated reasoning ◦ Usually require knowledge ◦ Understanding  Chinese room experiment  How Siri works? ◦ Computers can play strong games, and a chimpanzee can play poor games?  There are non-intelligent ways to achieve intelligent tasks Dr R. QuG51IAI - Module Introduction
