recognized
 20. Future of AI
The future is really unknown
Researchers seem to disagree on a lot of the same issues

4. With the rate at which technologyis improving it is logical to believe
AI will continue to get more and more sophisticated
 21. AI in Video Games
Over the years AI is getting exponentially more sophisticated
Now AI’s are able to react with an “intelligence” that simulates the
computeras a human
AI’s are able to respond to voice commands
 22. Chess & AI
Theory: if they can create a computer that can outsmart humans in
this obviously strategic, thinking-based game, then it would be a
major milestone on the road to the intelligent computer
 23. Ethical Questions?
-Will there come a point when computers becometoo intelligent?
-Should robots have the same legal rights as humans?
-How would we get around the question of ownership?
-To what extent should we trust (be able to predictthe behavior of)
such a species?
-What responsibilities do we owe such robots?
-Would it be wrong to deliberatelyinstall mechanisms that gave
humans an immediate physical advantage e.g. an off switch?
-Should we allow a self-governing robotsociety to co-exist with ours?

 1. Artificial intelligence Done by : TafoolAtsloom
 2. Outline: History Definition Motivation Limitations Technology
Advantages Applications Comparisons betweenhuman and
computerintelligence Artificial intelligence and Learning
Programming languages used to develop AI
 3. History "machines will be capable,within 20 years, of doing
any work a man can do."Two years later, MIT researcher
Marvin Minsky predicted,"Within a generation ... the problem of
creating 'artificial intelligence' will substantially be solved."
(artificial intelligence innovator Herbert Simon.1965)
 4. Definition

5. o Artificial intelligence ( AI ) is the intelligence of machines and the
branch of computer science which aims to create it
o Artificial intelligence ( AI ) is the intelligence of machines and the
branch of computer science which aims to create it
 5. Comparisons betweenhuman and computerintelligence Normal
humans have the same intellectual mechanisms and that differences
in intelligence are related to ``quantitative biochemicaland
physiologicalconditions' , but computer programs have plenty of
speed and memory but their abilities correspond to the intellectual
mechanisms that program designers understand well enough to put
in programs . Wheneverpeople do better than computers on some
task or computers use a lot of computation to do as well as people,
this demonstrates that the program designers lack understanding of
the intellectual mechanisms required to do the task efficiently.
 6. Motivation
o Why Artificial Intelligence?
o Computers are fundamentally well suited to performing mechanical
computations, using fixed programmed rules.
o Artificial machines perform simple monotonous tasks efficiently and
reliably, which humans are ill-suited to.
o For more complex problems, things get more difficult... Unlike
humans, computers have trouble understanding specific situations,
and adapting to new situations.
o Artificial Intelligence aims to improve machine behavior in tackling
such complex tasks.
 7.
o Humans have an interesting approachto problem-solving, based on
abstract thought, high-level deliberative reasoning and pattern
recognition.
o AI research is allowing us to understand our intelligent behavior.
o Artificial Intelligence can help us understand this process by
recreating it, then potentially enabling us to enhance it beyond our
current capabilities.
Cont, Motivation
 8. Limitations
o When will Computers becometruly intelligent?
o
o T o date, all the traits of human intelligence have not been captured
and applied together to spawn an intelligent artificial creature.

6. o Currently, Artificial Intelligence rather seems to focus on lucrative
domain specific applications, which do not necessarily require the full
extent of AI capabilities.
o
o T here is little doubtamong the community that artificial machines
will be capable of intelligent thought in the near future.
 9. Technology
o How does Artificial Intelligence work?
o There are many different approaches to Artificial Intelligence. Some
are obviously more suited than others in some cases.
o Over the past five decades, AI research has mostly been focusing on
solving specific problems. Numerous solutions have been devised and
improved to do so efficiently and reliably.
o This explains why the field of Artificial Intelligence is split into
many branches, ranging from Pattern Recognition to Artificial Life,
including Evolutionary Computation and Planning.
 10. Advantage
o it can help improve our way of life
o machines will be able to do jobs that require detailed instructions
o mental alertness and decision making capabilities
o use robots for heavy construction, military benefits, or even for
personal assistance at private homes
o there will be less injuries and stress to human beings
o Many of our health problems now have possible solutions with the use
of Artificial Intelligence in studies at universities
 11.
o scientists have been using AI to test theories and notions about how
our brains work
o AI opens up new and exciting avenues for entertainment possibilities.
o AI also makes interactive electronic games more fun by making the
computer controlled characters more realistic and human - like .
o
Cont, Advantage
 12. Applications
o game playing
o There is some AI in them and they play well against people
o
o speechrecognition
o instruct some computers using speech
o understanding natural language

7. o The computer has to be provided with a understanding of the domain
the text is about, and this is presently possible only for very limited
domains.
o
 13. cont, Applications
o expert systems
o
o One of the first expert systems was MYCIN in 1974, which diagnosed
bacterial infections of the blood and suggested treatments . It did
better than medical students or practicing doctors, provided its
limitations were observed . The usefulness of current expert systems
depends on their users having common sense
o Modeling Human Performance
o Planning & Robotics
o Languages & Environments for AI
o Machine Learning
o AI & Philosophy
 14. - Lisp - Python - Prolog - Java - C ++ programming languages
used to develop AI
 15. Using Artificial intelligence ( AI ) help instructional designers to
provide creative solutions , problem solving strategies and more
interactivity in the learning . For example , Games : The games
provide interactive learning environment for learners . The
intelligence is necessary in computergames when players are
competing against other characters which are played by the computer
. Most people enjoy playing against other people rather than a
machine because other people can provide variable, random and
sometimesunpredictable responsesand behaviors, whereas simply
programmed machines will always respond the same way, in
predictable ways that mean a player only has to rememberthe few
basic responsespossible,and respond to them in order to complete
the level Artificial intelligence and Learning
