The document discusses artificial intelligence and defines it as the ability of machines to mimic human intelligence through tasks like learning, problem-solving, and knowledge acquisition. It outlines 4 views of AI: thinking like humans or rationally, and acting like humans or rationally. The Turing Test is described as a method to determine if a computer's responses are indistinguishable from a human's. The major branches of AI are identified as vision systems, robotics, natural language processing, learning systems, neural networks, and expert systems. Attributes of natural and artificial intelligence are compared. Applications of AI technology and the ethics of AI development are also summarized.
4. Intelligence Behavior
the ability to learn from experiences and
apply knowledge acquired from
experience, handle complex situations,
solve problems when important
information is missing, determine what is
important, react quickly and correctly to a
new situation, understand visual images,
process and manipulate symbols, be
creative and imaginative, and use
heuristics.

6. Turing Test
(developed by Alan Turing, a British Mathematician)
attempts to determine whether the
responses from a computer with
intelligent behavior are indistinguishable
from responses from a human.
7. Specific characteristics of intelligent behavior:

experience.
Handle complex situations.
Solve problems when important information is missing.
Determine what is important.
React quickly and correctly to a new situation.
Understand visual images.
Process and manipulate symbols.
Be creative and imaginative.
Use heuristics.

10. Major Branches of Artificial Intelligence
1. Robotics
Involve developing mechanical or
computer devices that perform
tasks requiring a high degree of
precision or that are hazardous for
humans.

11. 2. Vision Systems
Include hardware and software
that permit computers to
capture, store, and manipulate
visual images and pictures.

12. 3. Natural language processing
Computers understand and react to statements and commands made in a
natural language, such as English.
4. Learning system
Computer changes how it functions or reacts to situations based on feedback.
5. Neural network
Computer system that can act like or simulate the functioning of the human
brain.
6. Expert Systems
Consists of hardware and software that stores knowledge and makes inferences,
similar to a human expert.

13. Ethics of AI
People might lose their jobs to automation.
People might lose their sense of being unique.
People might lose some of their privacy rights.
The use of AI systems might result in a loss of
accountability.
The success of AI might mean the end of the human
race.
