Applications of Artificial Intelligence Mike Scavezze March 28, 2000
Artificial Intelligence Today • Intelligent computer poker players • Robotic pets • Automated customer service • Computerized face recognition • Optimized climate control
Intelligent Computer Poker Players • Problems that had to be overcome • Game of imperfect information • Reading opponents • Poker involves chance
Intelligent Computer Poker Players • Solution • Scientists have written a program to play poker intelligently • This program is called Loki
Intelligent Computer Poker Players • How Loki works • Learns how its opponents play • sees how often players bluff • compares a player’s betting to the player’s hand • Calculates probabilities
Intelligent Computer Poker Players • Advantages • Does not crack under pressure • Can figure probabilities and statistics more effectively than humans
Robotic Pets • Sony’s AIBO • Robotic dog • Develops personality depending on treatment by owner • Responds to touch and sound • Has robotic, jointed legs
Robotic Pets • NEC’s R100 • Similar to Sony’s model • Has wheels instead of legs • Makes R100 less expensive • Planned release date: 2001
Robotic Pets • Price and popularity • AIBO’s price tag: $2,500 • Sell outs • In the U.S., 2,000 sold in 4 days • In Japan, 3,000 sold in 20 minutes • In response to this: • 10,000 more were produced • 135,000 additional have been requested
Automated Customer Service • Why it is needed • People are unsatisfied with: • Response time • Quality of service • Companies are swamped with emails and are unable to reply in a timely fashion
Automated Customer Service • How it works • Determines the email’s request • Routes the email to the correct department • Sends automated responses
Computerized Face Recognition • What it is used for • Airport security • Identifies known terrorists • Casino management • Recognizes card sharks and cheaters
Computerized Face Recognition • How it works • Scans a picture of a face • Distinguishes facial features • Searches database to determine the person’s identity
Computerized Face Recognition • Downsides • Could be used to invade privacy • Movements of ordinary citizens could be monitored
Optimized Climate Control • Where its used • One New York City public housing facility • If successful there, it will be used in other housing facilities in New York City
Optimized Climate Control • What it does • Monitors the boiler system • Recognizes trouble patterns • Corrects problem • If unable to do so, calls for help
Optimized Climate Control • Benefits • Over 10 years, the system will save 2 million dollars • If installed in all 3000 public housing facilities in New York City, over 6 billion dollars will be saved
