Lecture01 Intro

Artificial intelligence is the study of computational models that exhibit intelligent behavior or thought processes. There are several approaches to AI, including computational models that behave intelligently or rationally by perceiving the world and selecting actions to maximize performance. Applications of AI include games, theorem proving, speech recognition, machine translation, robotics, autonomous vehicles, and decision support systems. Pioneers in the field include Alan Turing, Marvin Minsky, and John McCarthy.

Artificial Intelligence

Intelligent?
What is intelligence?

 computational part of the ability to achieve


goals in the world
somewhere, something went wrong
What is AI?

 Computational models of human behavior?


 Computational models of human “thought” process?
 Computational systems that behave intelligently?
 Computational systems that behave rationally !
Rationality:

 Perceiving the world around it,


– a rational agent selects an action
– to maximize the performance measure
 Using
– Evidence provided in perception sensors
– Built in knowledge of the agent
Applications of AI
