4. Can Intelligence be defined?
? Intelligence can not be defined abstractly
? There are probably as many definitions of intelligence as there
are experts who study it.

5. Intelligence (defination)
? from "Mainstream Science on Intelligence"
(1994), an editorial statement by fifty-two
researchers:
?A very general mental capability that, among other
things, involves the ability to reason, plan, solve
problems, think abstractly (conceptually),
comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly and learn
from experience.
? (Gottfredson, L.S., 1997).

6. Intelligence
? from "Intelligence: Knowns and Unknowns"
(1995), a report published by the Board of
Scientific Affairs of the
American Psychological Association:
? Individualsdiffer from one another in their ability
to understand complex ideas, to adapt effectively
to the environment, to learn from experience, to
engage in various forms of reasoning, to overcome
obstacles by taking thought.
? (Neisser, 1997) and (Perloff, 1996)

7. Other definitions of intelligence
? capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and
similar forms of mental activity; aptitude (ability) in
grasping truths, relationships, facts, meanings, etc.
? the faculty of understanding.
? knowledge of an event, circumstance, etc., received
or imparted; news; information.

9. Intelligence of computer
? According to the British computer scientist
Alan Turing's test in (1950):
? ¡°a computer would deserves to be called
intelligent if it could deceive a human into
believing that it was human.¡±

11. Artificial Intelligence
? ¡°A branch of a computer science which studies
the development of software and hardware
which simulates human intelligence¡±

Lect: QACC,UOP
12. Artificial Intelligence
? AI is the part of computer science concerned with
designing intelligent computer systems, that is,
computer systems that exhibit the characteristics we
associate with intelligence in human behavior-
? Understanding languages,
? learning,
? reasoning,
? solving problems, and so on.
? (Barr and Feigenbaum, 1981)

13. Other Definitions of AI ¡.
? ¡°AI is the study of how to make computer do
things at which, at the moment, people are
better¡±
? (Rich and Knight, 1991)
? ¡°AI is study of idea that enable computers to
be intelligent¡±
? (Patrick H. Winston)

15. Intelligent computing Vs Conventional
computing ¡
? Conventional:
? Based on algorithms whose instructions are stored
in memory and executed in sequential way.
? AI Computing:
? Not based on algorithms but based on:
? Knowledge base (symbolic representation)
? Uses reasoning and inferencing over the knowledge
base to search and perform pattern matching.

17. Contributions of other disciplines to AI
? Philosophy Logic, methods of reasoning, mind as physical
system, foundations of learning, language,
rationality (wisdom)
? Mathematics Formal representation and proof of algorithms,
computation, (un)decidability, (in)tractability,
probability
? Economics utility, decision theory
? Neuroscience how do brain process information (neuron operation)
? Psychology 1- How do humans and animals think and act
2- phenomena of perception and motor control,
