What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
• Textbook Definition: "the study and design of intelligent agents”
• Simpler Definition: a branch of computer science dealing with the simulation of intelligent behavior in computers
• The capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behavior
History of AI
• 1941: First electronic computer
(technology finally available )
• 1956: Term Artificial Intelligence introduced
• 1960s: Checkers-playing program that was able to play games with opponents
• 1980s: Quality Control Systems• 2000: First sophisticated walking robot
Understanding AI
• Can it act intelligently?
• Can it solve problems by thinking?
• Can it have a mind? mental states & consciousness?
• Can it feel?
• Human Intelligence vs.
machine intelligence?
• Is the human brain essentially a computer?
BIG Philosophy: “CAN MACHINES REALLY THINK?”
Three Major Domains of AI Research & Development
1- Cognitive Science-How the brain works
2-Natural Interfaces-GPS-Microsoft SYNC
3- Robotics http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkTwUb5xU6w
Fields of AI
•Computer Science •Math •Psychology •Cognition •Concept Mining•Automation
•Biology •E-mail Spam Filtering •Data Mining•Robotics•Philosophy etc.
Real AI vs. Fantasy
Robots in Manufacturing
• Precise
• Less prone to error
• Faster
• Don’t get bored
Robots that are like humans
• Why?– Companionship?
• Beauty of life– Randomly– Unexpected
• Feelings are genuine– Emerged naturally
Game Design in AI
•Techniques control theory, robotics, computer graphics, and computer science
•No longer a 30-minute distraction from reality
•Graphics AI Design
X BOX 360•What is it?
•Price
•Brilliant Engineers
•Non-Play Characters (NPCs) can behave in realistic ways•Efficient use of Teamwork•The ability to hunt•Survival Instincts

Robots take over the world?
• Step 1: Manufacturing-Robots have already begun to replace factory workers
• Step 2: Service jobs
-Robots at McDonalds?
• Step 3: ???
-Robots take over the world?
