2.  Intelligent Agents, What is AI?  Search  Knowledge Representation  Planning  Learning  Game Theory 2

3.  Introduction: what is AI? the Turing Test; History of AI; state of the art  Intelligent Agents: rationality, environments, agent structure  Search: breadth-first, depth-first, iterative deepening, bidirectional search, informed heuristic search, A*, heuristic functions, hill climbing, simulated annealing, Constraint satisfaction problems, backtracking search for CSPs, Adversarial search, games, minimax, alpha-beta pruning 3

4.  Knowledge Representation: propositional logic; propositional inference, first-order logic; quantifiers; encoding of knowledge, inference in first-order logic, unification, forward chaining, backward chaining, resolution  Planning: planning with state-space search, partial order planning, planning graphs, planning with propositional logic, hierarchical task network planning, conditional planning, continuous planning, multiagent planning 4

5.  There are many ways of categorizing approaches to problems in AI ◦ Neat vs. Scruffy  Theoreticians vs. Experimentalists ◦ Rule-based vs. data-based ◦ Users of particular “tools” or “approaches”  POMDPs  Learning ◦ And more… 5

12.  Long-held dreams are coming true: ◦ Language Translation ◦ Speech Recognition  Mundane tasks made possible by learning from data: ◦ FareCast  What would we want a machine to do, that it can’t do now? ◦ Autonomous Driving? ◦ Teaching? 12

13.  When computers are programmed to take the place of humans, where does liability reside?  Is fast behavior unethical, when slow versions of the same behavior are ethical (e.g., machine scanning of vast amounts of mortgage information, publically available, that would be much harder to analyze if done by a human)?  Human-machine symbiosis – what crosses the line?  Machine-machine behavior – is any behavior that is unethical for humans allowed for computers? Vice versa? 13
