What is Artificial Intelligence?
Is it a mechanical system Could it be a
operating inside the many computerized chip
things around us?
forming the thoughts in
our minds?
Definition
Artificial Intelligence is a division of computer
science and engineering that deals with
intelligent behavior, learning, and adaptation
in machines.
History of AI
Research of AI started during the 1940s. In 1956, the father of AI,
John McCarthy held a conference on Artificial Intelligence
and AI has been referred as AI since then.
As time progressed AI became more complex allowing detailed
and complex tasks to be possible by machines.
We now see many different operations handled by machines
due to the hard research and study put in many years ago.
Where is AI used?
• Banks use AI systems to organize operations, invest in stocks, and
manage properties.
• Medical clinics use AI systems to organize schedules, make staff
rotations, and to provide medical information.
• Financial institutions use systems to detect charges or claims that
are not normal and flag these for human investigation.
• Homeland security uses speech and text recognition, data mining,
and e-mail spam filtering.
• Robots have also become common in many industries that are
considered dangerous to humans.
AI in Computers
• Smart Internet search engines
that read the pages before
suggesting them to you.
• Diagnostic tools that analyze MRI
images to find tumors
• Biomedical informatics systems
that understand human
genomes and search for new
drug therapies.
• Biometric that recognize your
face, voice and fingerprints.
AI at Home
• Many computerized
games and systems use
AI. The CPU is an AI
such as in HALO.
• Introducing the new
age of cleaning
ROOMBA, the vacuum.
• Meet our new member
of the family AIBO, the
dog.
AI in Pictures and Writing
• There are countless
numbers of films and
books which feature AI.
• The Moon Is a Harsh
Mistress by Robert A.
Heinlein.
• The Terminator series.
Heard of the News?
• George the robot
playing hide-and-seek.
• AI job market will look
over your resume.
• Man Beats Machine in
SCRABBLE, and wins
$10,000.
AI Research Today
• American Association for Artificial Intelligence
(AAAI) is an organization dedicating
advancement in the understanding of AI in a
technical and scientifical way.
• Many science groups around the world are
creating new ways to make AI more
intelligent.
• Government operations seeking newer ways
to make AI useful.
