WHAT IS AI?
• Artificial Intelligence (AI)
– Intelligent behaviour in artifacts
– “Design computer programs to make computers smarter”
– “Study of how to make computers do things at which, at the
moment, people are better”
• Intelligent behaviour
– Perception, reasoning, learning, communicating, acting in
complex environments
• Long term goals of AI
– Develop machines that do things as well as humans can or
possibly even better
– Understand behaviours

In 1958:LISP LANGUAGE
DEVELOPED
• MCcarthy announces new development: lisp language
• Still used today
• List processing- language of choice among AI developers
• LISP is characterized by the following
ideas:
computing with symbolic
expressions rather than numbers
representation of symbolic
expressions and other information
by list structure in the memory of a
computer representation of
information in external media mostly
by multi-level lists and sometimes by
S-expressions

CONCLUSION
In it’ s short existence, AI has increased
understanding of the nature of intelligence and
provided an impressive array of application in a
wide range of areas.
It has sharpened understanding of human
reasoning, and of the nature of intelligence in
general.
At the same time, it has revealed the complexity
of modeling human reasoning providing new
areas and rich challenges for the future.
