- 7. Artificial Intelligence 6 Since the invention of computers or machines, their capability to perform various tasks went on growing exponentially. Humans have developed the power of computer systems in terms of their diverse working domains, their increasing speed, and reducing size with respect to time. A branch of Computer Science named Artificial Intelligence pursues creating the computers or machines as intelligent as human beings. WhatisArtificialIntelligence? According to the father of Artificial Intelligence John McCarthy, it is “The science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs”. Artificial Intelligence is a way of making a computer, a computer-controlled robot, or a software think intelligently, in the similar manner the intelligent humans think. AI is accomplished by studying how human brain thinks, and how humans learn, decide, and work while trying to solve a problem, and then using the outcomes of this study as a basis of developing intelligent software and systems. PhilosophyofAI While exploiting the power of the computer systems, the curiosity of human, lead him to wonder, “Can a machine think and behave like humans do?” Thus, the development of AI started with the intention of creating similar intelligence in machines that we find and regard high in humans. GoalsofAI To Create Expert Systems: The systems which exhibit intelligent behavior, learn, demonstrate, explain, and advice its users. To Implement Human Intelligence in Machines: Creating systems that understand, think, learn, and behave like humans. 1. Overview of AI
- 8. Artificial Intelligence 7 WhatContributestoAI? Artificial intelligence is a science and technology based on disciplines such as Computer Science, Biology, Psychology, Linguistics, Mathematics, and Engineering. A major thrust of AI is in the development of computer functions associated with human intelligence, such as reasoning, learning, and problem solving. Out of the following areas, one or multiple areas can contribute to build an intelligent system. ProgrammingWithoutandWithAI The programming without and with AI is different in following ways: Programming Without AI Programming With AI A computer program without AI can answer the specific questions it is meant to solve. A computer program with AI can answer the generic questions it is meant to solve. Modification in the program leads to change in its structure. AI programs can absorb new modifications by putting highly independent pieces of information together. Hence you can modify even a minute piece of information of program without affecting its structure. Modification is not quick and easy. It may lead to affecting the program adversely. Quick and Easy program modification.

It is not well-organized or well-formatted. It keeps changing constantly. AI Technique is a manner to organize and use the knowledge efficiently in such a way that: It should be perceivable by the people who provide it. It should be easily modifiable to correct errors. It should be useful in many situations though it is incomplete or inaccurate. AI techniques elevate the speed of execution of the complex program it is equipped with. ApplicationsofAI AI has been dominant in various fields such as: Gaming AI plays crucial role in strategic games such as chess, poker, tic-tac-toe, etc., where machine can think of large number of possible positions based on heuristic knowledge. Natural Language Processing It is possible to interact with the computer that understands natural language spoken by humans. Expert Systems There are some applications which integrate machine, software, and special information to impart reasoning and advising. They provide explanation and advice to the users. Vision Systems These systems understand, interpret, and comprehend visual input on the computer. For example, o A spying aeroplane takes photographs which are used to figure out spatial information or map of the areas. o Doctors use clinical expert system to diagnose the patient. o Police use computer software that can recognize the face of criminal with the stored portrait made by forensic artist.

It can handle different accents, slang words, noise in the background, change in human’s noise due to cold, etc. Handwriting Recognition The handwriting recognition software reads the text written on paper by a pen or on screen by a stylus. It can recognize the shapes of the letters and convert it into editable text. Intelligent Robots Robots are able to perform the tasks given by a human. They have sensors to detect physical data from the real world such as light, heat, temperature, movement, sound, bump, and pressure. They have efficient processors, multiple sensors and huge memory, to exhibit intelligence. In addition, they are capable of learning from their mistakes and they can adapt to the new environment. HistoryofAI Here is the history of AI during 20th century: Year Milestone / Innovation 1923 Karel Čapek’s play named “Rossum's Universal Robots” (RUR) opens in London, first use of the word "robot" in English. 1943 Foundations for neural networks laid. 1945 Isaac Asimov, a Columbia University alumni, coined the term Robotics. 1950 Alan Turing introduced Turing Test for evaluation of intelligence and published Computing Machinery and Intelligence. Claude Shannon published Detailed Analysis of Chess Playing as a search. 1956 John McCarthy coined the term Artificial Intelligence. Demonstration of the first running AI program at Carnegie Mellon University. 1958 John McCarthy invents LISP programming language for AI. 1964 Danny Bobrow's dissertation at MIT showed that computers can understand natural language well enough to solve algebra word problems correctly. 1965 Joseph Weizenbaum at MIT built ELIZA, an interactive problem that carries on a dialogue in English. 1969 Scientists at Stanford Research Institute Developed Shakey, a robot, equipped with locomotion, perception, and problem solving.

Artificial Intelligence 10 1973 The Assembly Robotics group at Edinburgh University built Freddy, the Famous Scottish Robot, capable of using vision to locate and assemble models. 1979 The first computer-controlled autonomous vehicle, Stanford Cart, was built. 1985 Harold Cohen created and demonstrated the drawing program, Aaron. 1990 Major advances in all areas of AI: Significant demonstrations in machine learning Case-based reasoning Multi-agent planning Scheduling Data mining, Web Crawler natural language understanding and translation Vision, Virtual Reality Games 1997 The Deep Blue Chess Program beats the then world chess champion, Garry Kasparov. 2000 Interactive robot pets become commercially available. MIT displays Kismet, a robot with a face that expresses emotions. The robot Nomad explores remote regions of Antarctica and locates meteorites.
- 12. Artificial Intelligence 11 While studying artificially intelligence, you need to know what intelligence is. This chapter covers Idea of intelligence, types, and components of intelligence. WhatisIntelligence? The ability of a system to calculate, reason, perceive relationships and analogies, learn from experience, store and retrieve information from memory, solve problems, comprehend complex ideas, use natural language fluently, classify, generalize, and adapt new situations. TypesofIntelligence As described by Howard Gardner, an American developmental psychologist, the Intelligence comes in multifold: Intelligence Description Example Linguistic intelligence The ability to speak, recognize, and use mechanisms of phonology (speech sounds), syntax (grammar), and semantics (meaning). Narrators, Orators Musical intelligence The ability to create, communicate with, and understand meanings made of sound, understanding of pitch, rhythm. Musicians, Singers, Composers Logical- mathematical intelligence The ability of use and understand relationships in the absence of action or objects. Understanding complex and abstract ideas. Mathematicians, Scientists Spatial intelligence The ability to perceive visual or spatial information, change it, and re-create visual images without reference to the objects, construct 3D images, and to move and rotate them. Map readers, Astronauts, Physicists Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence The ability to use complete or part of the body to solve problems or fashion products, control over fine and coarse motor skills, and manipulate the objects. Players, Dancers Intra-personal intelligence The ability to distinguish among one’s own feelings, intentions, and motivations. Gautam Buddha 2. IntelligenT Systems
- 13. Artificial Intelligence 12 Interpersonal intelligence The ability to recognize and make distinctions among other people’s feelings, beliefs, and intentions. Mass Communicators, Interviewers You can say a machine or a system is artificially intelligent when it is equipped with at least one and at most all intelligences in it.
