Problems in AI and Related Areas

What is AI?
...science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. John McCarthy.
A branch of cybernetics concerned with automation of deductive constructions (reasoning).
The study and design of intelligent agents.
Remark 1. http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/whatisai/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial intelligence
Major Problems in AI
How does human think? (cognitive science)
Reasoning and problem solving (choosing goals, subgoals).
Pattern recognition (primarily visual and aural).
Learning (e.g. machine learning).
Natural human languages (recognition of the meaning of sentences and
expressions, maintaining a dialogue).
1

Instruction and self-instruction.


Algorithms for the control of movements (artificial limbs, robots).
Synthesis of an artificial voice, speech.
Conversational and dialogue (human-machine) systems.
Increase of productivity (expert systems, games).
Branches and Related Areas
Cybernetics: science of the control, communication and processing of information. Includes theories of control, communication, information processing,
operations research, decisions.
Cognitive science: the study of (human) intelligence by algorithms simulating
human behaviour. Computational theory of mind.
Machine learning: concerned with adaptive systems and algorithms, where
knowledge is modified to improve problem-solving capability.
Neuroscience: the study of nervous system. Mostly related to AI are cognitive
and computational neuroscience.
Logic: (propositional, first-order, boolean, fuzzy) used for automated reasoning.
Optimisation: extremal problems, approximation, optimal control.
Probability: uncertainty, information theory, statistics.

Questions about Intelligence

What is Intelligence?
The ability to reason, plan, make decisions, solve problems and learn.
Some also add comprehend and use language to communicate.
. . . computational part of the ability to achieve goals in the world John
McCarthy.
Question 1. Does intelligence require emotion or consciousness?

The Turing Test


Imitation game proposed in:
Turing, A. (1950, October). Computing Machinery and Intelligence, Mind,
LIX (236), 433460
Three participants in isolated rooms: computer, human and human judge.
The judge can communicate via text both with the computer and human.
The computer wins (passes the test) if the judge cannot tell which of the
two is the computer.

Applications of AI

Applications of AI
Decision support systems, management and finance.
Data-mining and knowledge discovery in databases.
Image processing (medicine, geophysics, criminology).
Automatic scheduling, planning and optimisation.
Robotics.
Space industry.
Game industry.
Security and military applications.
