What is artificial intelligence?

  • Area of computer science whose goal is to allow computers to:
  • do things that require intelligence
  • do things humans/animals easily do, but hard for

computers

  • solve intractable problems on average more quickly

  • Enormous number of AI areas/techniques:
  • Automated reasoning: theorem proving, planning, scheduling
  • Intelligent agent control
  • Interpreting senses: natural language processing, computer vision
  • Knowledge based (expert) systems
  • Machine learning
