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
What can AI do?
- Web search
- Intelligent control
- Planning complex operations
- Diagnostic reasoning
- Natural language processing
- Image understanding and generation
- Sentiment analysis, etc., for social media
- Data mining and analysis
