“I believe that at the end of the century the use of words and
general educated opinion will have altered so much that one
will be able to speak of machines thinking without expecting
to be contradicted.”
― Alan Turing, Computing Machinery and Intelligence

Father of Artificial Intelligence
12
The father of Artificial Intelligence is British
mathematician Alan Mathison Turing. In 1950 he
declared that in the future there would be a machine
that would duplicate human intelligence. He devised a
specialised test, known as the “Turing Test”, to be
used to prove artificial intelligence. In the test, a
human and a computer hidden from view would be
asked random identical questions. If the computer
was successful, the questioner would be unable to
distinguish the machine from the human.

Introduction to AI
• Involves the techniques which could make a computer
to perform tasks similar to that performed by a human
• Categorized under Computing Methodologies (ACM)
• A study of solutions for problems that are difficult or
impractical to solve with traditional methods, which
supports everyday applications such as email, word-
processing, search, as well in the design and analysis
of autonomous agents that perceive their environment
and interact rationally with the environment.

Introduction to AI (Contd..)
• Initially viewed as a technique of solving day to day
problems
• also termed common sense reasoning
• certain ideas on understanding natural languages –
Natural Language Processing
• Recent researches emphasize on AI as an intelligence
which requires knowledge

Introduction to AI (Contd..)
• The knowledge captures generalizations. From this, it
could be inferred that the situations that share
important properties are grouped together.
• It can be understood by people who provide it.
• It can be easily modified to correct errors and to reflect
changes in the world and in our world view.
• It can be used in most situations even if it is not
accurate or complete.
• It can be used to identify the narrow range of
possibilities.
19

Problem formulation
• Involves 4 steps
1. Define the problem precisely. The definition must
comprise of precise specification of the initial
situation as well the final situation with acceptable
solutions to the problem.
2. Analyse the problem.
3. Isolate and represent the task knowledge which is
required to solve the problem.
4. Choose the best problem-solving technique(s)
and apply it (them) to the particular problem.
