Editor's Notes
- Ok everybody. Please take your seats so we can start. Thank you all for taking time from your busy schedule to come to MSAIL’s mass meeting. My name is Akram. I am the current president of MSAIL. Let me start by giving you a quick overview of what we will be presenting. First we’ll introduce what MSAIL is, then we’ll talk about the events that we organize and finally we will discuss the projects which you can be involved in.
- Here is a second approach to what AI is which I personally much prefer. AI is a modern field that is very interdisciplinary. You can see that the governing disciplines of AI are very diverse ranging from Psychology and mathematics to philosophy and computer science. This diverse knowledge all put together has led to significant advances in theoretical areas such as reasoning, learning , planning, perception and many other areas which has led to very important applications such as search engines and in particular Google, industrial robotics ,beating human players in chess thanks to deep blue, autonomously navigating urban environments, as well as automated medical diagnosis to many other things. The take home message is that AI is very pervasive in our society and it is definitely here to stay.
- Here is a quick overview of what MSAIL is: It is first a community comprised of students who have interest in AI but that also includes faculty in CS that encourage and advise our effort with who you can interact with. Second it is an opportunity to learn about the cutting edge in AI from researchers that work in the field. Third, it is an opportunity to learn how to apply various AI techniques to exciting real world problems which we will describe later. Finally you will have fun while impressing faculty and corporate recruiters.
