9. Artificial Intelligence Computers with the
ability to mimic or duplicate the functions of
the human brain…
Artificial Intelligence is a branch of Science
which deals with helping machines find
solutions to complex problems in a more
human-like fashion
10. AI is generally associated with Computer Science, but it
has many important links with other fields such as Maths,
Psychology, Cognition, Biology and Philosophy, among
many others. Our ability to combine knowledge from all
these fields will ultimately benefit our progress in the
quest of creating an intelligent artificial being.
Computers would be much more powerful if they had
even a small fraction of the perceptual ability of animals or
humans. Adding such perceptual abilities to computers
would enable computers and humans to work together
more as partners

12. After WWII, a number of people independently
started to work on intelligent machines. The English
mathematician Alan Turing may have been the first.
He gave a lecture on it in 1947. He also may have been
the first to decide that AI was best researched by
programming computers rather than by building
machines. By the late 1950s, there were many
researchers on AI, and most of them were basing their
work on programming computers.
13. Wings or not?
• Games, mathematics, and other
knowledge-poor tasks
• The silver bullet?
• Knowledge-based systems
• Hand-coded knowledge vs.
machine learning
• Low-levels (sensory and motor)
processing and the resurgence of
sub symbolic systems
• Robotics
• Natural language processing
• Programming languages
• Cognitive modeling
16. Artificial intelligence would not need any sleep. This
would be an advantage because it would not be
interrupted from its tasks for sleep.
Easier copying. Once an artificial mind is trained in a
task, that mind can then be copied very easily,
compared to the training of multiple people for the
same task.
The main use of AI is to reduce & save the time...
17. Human Feel - as they are machines they obviously
can't provide you with that 'human touch and
quality', the feeling of a togetherness and
emotional understanding, that machines will lack
the ability to sympathise and empathise with your
situations, and may act irrationally as a
consequence.
Compared to a biological mind, an artificial mind
is only capable of taking in a small amount of
information
