Introduction
What is Artificial Intelligence ?
•
John McCarthy, who coined the term Artificial Intelligence in 1956,
defines it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent
machines", especially intelligent computer programs.
•
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the intelligence of machines and the branch
of computer science that aims to create it.
•
Intelligence is the computational part of the ability to achieve goals
in the world. Varying kinds and degrees of intelligence occur in
people, many animals and some machines.
•
AI is the study of the mental faculties through the use of
computational models.
•
AI is the study of : How to make computers do things which, at the
moment, people do better.
•
AI is the study and design of intelligent agents, where an intelligent
agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions
that maximize its chances of success.

AI - Definitions
1. Definitions
1.1 Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The definitions of AI outlined in textbooks
(a)
'The exciting new effort to make
computers think ... machines with
minds, in the full and literal sense'
(Haugeland, 1985)
'The automation of activities that we
associate with human thinking,
activities such as decision-making,
problem solving, learning ...'
(Bellman, 1978)
(b)
'The study of mental faculties through
the use of computational models'
(Charniak and McDermott, 1985)
'The study of the computations that
make it possible to perceive, reason,
and act' (Winston, 1992)
(C)
'The art of creating machines that
perform functions that require
intelligence when performed by
people' (Kurzweil, 1990)
'The study of how to make computers
do things at which, at the moment,
people are better' (Rich and Knight,
1991)
(d)
'A field of study that seeks to explain
and emulate intelligent behavior in
terms of computational processes'
(Schalkoff, 1990)
'The branch of computer science that
is concerned with the automation of
intelligent behavior' (Luger and
Stubblefield, 1993)
? The definitions on the top,
(a) and (b) are concerned with reasoning, whereas those on the bottom,
(c) and (d) address behavior.
? The definitions on the left,
(a) and (c) measure success in terms of human performance, whereas
those on the right,
(b) and (d) measure ideal concept of intelligence called rationality.
Note : A system is rational if it does the right thing.
