What is artificial intelligence?
 Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of
human intelligence in machines that are programmed
to think like humans and mimic their actions.
 learning
 problem-solving.
 Planning
 Reasoning
 The art of creating machines that perform functions
that require intelligence when performed by people''
(Kurzweil, 1990)

Applications of Artificial Intelligence
 AI is being tested and used in the healthcare
industry for dosing drugs and different
treatment in patients, and for surgical
procedures in the operating room.
 Machines with artificial intelligence include
computers that play chess and self-driving
cars.
 bank's fraud detection.

Acting humanly: The Turing Test
approach
 The test proposed that the computer should be
interrogated by a human via a teletype, and passes the
test if the interrogator cannot tell if there is a computer or
a human at the other end.
 The computer would need to possess the following
capabilities:
 natural language processing to enable it to communicate
successfully in English (or some other human language);
 knowledge representation to store information provided
before or during the interrogation;
 automated reasoning to use the stored information to answer
questions and to draw new conclusions;
 machine learning to adapt to new circumstances and to detect
and extrapolate patterns.

Thinking humanly: The cognitive
modeling approach
 This requires "getting inside" of the human
mind to see how it works and then
comparing our computer programs to this.
 Another way to do this is to observe a human
problem solving and argue that one's
programs go about problem solving in a
similar way.

Thinking rationally
 the use of logic. Need to worry about
modeling uncertainty and dealing with
complexity
 Example: All computers use energy. Using
energy always generates heat. Therefore, all
computers generate heat..

Acting rationally
 Acting rationally means acting so as to achieve one's
goals, given one's beliefs.
 In the ``laws of thought'' approach to AI, the whole
emphasis was on correct inferences.
 Making correct inferences is sometimes part of being a
rational agent, because one way to act rationally is to
reason logically to the conclusion that a given action will
achieve one's goals, and then to act on that conclusion.
 On the other hand, correct inference is not all of
rationality, because there are often situations where
there is no provably correct thing to do, yet
something must still be done.
