2. INTRODUCTION TO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
What is Artificial Intelligence?
According to the father of Artificial Intelligence, John McCarthy, it is “The science and engineering of making
intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs”.
Artificial Intelligence is a way of making a computer, a computer-controlled robot, or a software think
intelligently, in the similar manner the intelligent humans think.
AI is accomplished by studying how human brain thinks, and how humans learn, decide, and work while trying
to solve a problem, and then using the outcomes of this study as a basis of developing intelligent software and
systems.
3. PHILOSOPHY OF AI
While exploiting the power of the computer systems, the curiosity of human, lead him to wonder, “Can a
machine think and behave like humans do?”
Thus, the development of AI started with the intention of creating similar intelligence in machines that we find
and regard high in humans.
4. GOALS OF AI
• To Create Expert Systems − The systems which exhibit intelligent behavior, learn, demonstrate, explain, and
advice its users.
• To Implement Human Intelligence in Machines − Creating systems that understand, think, learn, and
behave like humans.
5. CAN MACHINES THINK?
This is a difficult question and to answer it we need to define intelligence and thinking.Some aspects of intelligence:
• Planing
• Learning
• Reasoning
• Problem Solving
• Perception
In the 1950's, a test was proposed by Alan Turing to determine whether a machine is intelligent or not - The Turing Test.
6. THE TURING TEST
The basis of the turing test is for a person to attempt to distinguish between a machine and a human being. For fairness,
the machine and the human are isolated from the person carrying out the test and messages are exchanged via a keyboard
and screen. If the person can not distinguish between the computer and the human being, then the computer must be
intelligent. Each year, there is a Turing test contest called the Loebner Prize. This test is often criticised because it only
tests a limited aspect of intelligence.
Some people think that even if a machine could pass the Turing Test it may still not be intelligent.
7. AI PROBLEMS
Problems in AI early focused in on formal task with Applied Mathematical Theorem
Another Early day focused on sort the problem is called Commonsense reasoning. - These include perception
natural language understanding, and problem solving in Specialized domains medical diagnosis and chemical
analysis.
Now days AI problems and solution techniques it is important to discuss the following Question:
• 1. What are the underlying assumptions about intelligence?
• 2. What kinds of techniques will be useful for solving AI problems?
• 3. At what level human intelligence can be modelled?
• 4. When will it be realized when an intelligent program has been built?
8. TYPES OF AI TASKS
One possible classification of AI tasks is into 3 classes:
Mundane problems,
Formal problems
Expert Problems.
9. MUNDANE TASKS
• Perception
• Vision
• Speech
• Natural Language understanding, generation and translation
• Common-sense Reasoning
• Simple reasoning and logical symbol manipulation
• Robot Control
10. FORMAL TASKS
Games
• Chess
• Deep Blue recently beat Gary Kasparov Backgammon
• Draughts
• GO
To solve these problems we must explore a large number of solutions quickly and choose the Best One.Mathematics
• Geometry and Logic
• Logic Theorist: It proved mathematical theorems. It actually proved several theorems from Classical Math TextbooksIntegral Calculus
Programs such as Mathematica and Mathcad and perform complicated symbolic integration and differentiation.
-Proving Properties of Programs e.g. correctness
Manipulate Symbols and reduce problem (usually recursively), until the answer is obvious. That is, it can be looked up in
a table.
11. EXPERT TASKS
Engineering
• Design
• Fault finding
• Manufacturing
Planning
Scientific Analysis

Financial Analysis
Rule based systems -
if (conditions) then action
12. THE UNDERLYING ASSUMPTION
The Physical Symbol System Hypothesis - A physical symbol system has the necessary and sufficient means for general intelligent action
In other words: Computers (Turing Machines) have the power for general intelligent action.
Physical Symbol -- A Physical Symbol entities called symbol.
A physical symbol is machine that produces through time on evolving collection of symbol structures.
Computer provides the perfect medium for this extermination can be programmed to physical symbols
A physical Symbol include a visual perception its influence of sub symbolic process.
Sub symbolic models are beginning to challenge symbolic ones at such low level tasks.
The important of the physical symbol it’s a significant theory of the nature of human Intelligence and great interest to psychologists.
That its possible to build programs that can perform the intelligent task performed by people
13. EXAMPLE
Example of AI problem solving.
Problem : A farmer has a hungry fox a fat goose and a bag of grain. The farmer needs to cross a river but his boat can
only carry two things.Constraints: Fox and goose cannot be left together Goose and grain cannot be left together.
How to cross the river?
English language representation is hard to solve.
Try visual/graphical representation:
14. VISUAL APPROACH - TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WE NEED ONLY
FOLLOW THE TREE FROM ITS ROOT NODE TO ANY LEAF NODE.
15. WHAT IS AI TECHNIQUE?
In the real world, the knowledge has some unwelcomed properties −
• Its volume is huge, next to unimaginable.
• It is not well-organized or well-formatted.
• It keeps changing constantly.
AI Technique is a manner to organize and use the knowledge efficiently in such a way that −
• It should be perceivable by the people who provide it.
• It should be easily modifiable to correct errors.
• It should be useful in many situations though it is incomplete or inaccurate.
AI techniques elevate the speed of execution of the complex program it is equipped with.
16. TECHNOLOGIES BASED ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE:
1. Machine Learning: A subfield of AI that uses algorithms to enable systems to learn from data and make predictions
or decisions without being explicitly programmed.
2. Natural Language Processing (NLP): A branch of AI that focuses on enabling computers to understand, interpret,
and generate human language.
3. Computer Vision: A field of AI that deals with the processing and analysis of visual information using computer
algorithms.
4. Robotics: AI-powered robots and automation systems that can perform tasks in manufacturing, healthcare, retail, and
other industries.
5. Neural Networks: A type of machine learning algorithm modeled after the structure and function of the human
brain.
6. Expert Systems: AI systems that mimic the decision-making ability of a human expert in a specific field.
7. Chatbots: AI-powered virtual assistants that can interact with users through text-based or voice-based interfaces.
17. THE LEVEL OF MODEL
Artifical Intelligence Model
• What is our goal in trying to produce programs that do the intelligent things that people do?’
• Are we trying to produce programs that do the tasks the same way that people do? OR Are we trying to
produce programs that simply do the tasks the easiest way that is possible?
18. THE LEVEL OF MODEL
. AI techniques is a search method .
To use the knowledge about the objects involved in the problem area and abstraction
• To allows the element of pruning to occur, and to enable a solution to be found in real time.
• Examples : EPAM (Elementary Perceiver and Memorizer) which memorized garbage syllables.
The second class of problems attempts to Human performance
• 1. To test psychological theories of human performance. Ex. PARRY [Colby, 1975]which exploited a model
of human paranoid behaviour to simulate the conversational behavior of a paranoid person.
• 2. To understand computer reasoning. In many circumstances, people are reluctant to rely on the output
of a computer unless they can understand how the machine arrived at its result.
• 3. To exploit what knowledge we can glean from people. Since people are the best-known performers of
most of the tasks with which we are dealing, it makes a lot of sense to look to them for clues as to how to
proceed.
