  1. Artificial Intelligence:The Cyber Art of Being Alive Jerry B. Weinberg Associate Professor Department of Computer Science

  2. What is Intelligence? • Expert Tasks • Medical Diagnosis • Airplane Mechanic • Formal Tasks • Mathematics • Game Playing • Creative Tasks • Painting • Music Composition • Everyday Tasks • Visual recognition • Language understanding

  3. Intelligence • The ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one's environment • The ability to learn, understand, and deal with new situations • Storing knowledge (facts about a subject) • Reasoning (putting facts together to achieve a goal) • Learning (new knowledge and skill refinement) • Perception (interpreting the environment)

  4. Reasoning: State Space Search • State Space • The space of all possible states of a problem • The actions that can be applied to a state • Solving a problem: State Space Search • From a starting state search for a solution by applying possible actions • Goal test • Example: • How could you find your car? • States: locations where you are • Actions: moving from one point to the next • Goal test: Being in the same location as your car

  5. Exhaustive Search vs. Intelligent Search

  6. Heuristic Reasoning • Heuristic • “Rule of thumb” • a way to measure good a state is to get to your goal • Examples • Parking: what would be a good heuristic to find your car?

  7. Knowledge Representation • Data  Information Knowledge • Data is a collection of raw values • Information is derived facts from values • Knowledge is information applied to a problem • Knowledge representation encodes information in a program in such a way that it can be applied to a problem

  8. Solve These Problems • What is the name of this shape? • 432 X 14 = • How many windows are in your house? Different type of problems require different ways to represent the knowledge and different ways of reasoning.

  9. Knowledge Representations: Theories of Cognition • Rule-based • Model-based • Case-based • Neural Networks • Bayesian Networks • Formal Logic

  10. Intelligent Agents (IA’s) are Physical Symbol Systems • Symbols and symbols structures that can be manipulated syntactically by a set of processes • The symbol structure can be interpreted semantically

  11. Symbol Grounding Problem • 4 apples – 1 apple = 3 apples • Where does a symbol get its “meaning” • How does a computer “understand” what the symbol means? • How do we understand what a symbol means?

  12. Where are we going?Caveat: The Difficulties of Being a Futurist • The future is difficult to predict • Thomas Watson, Chairman of IBM, 1943 • “I think there is a world market for maybe five computers” • Ken Olson, President of DEC, 1977 • “There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.” • Bill Gates, CEO of Microsoft, 1981 • “640 Kilobytes ought to be enough for anybody.” • Things are not always used for what they are design to do • Arpanet (original Internet) was designed for robust communication in the event of a war. • We are now using it to order dog food and post pictures of our spring break vacation.

  13. Where is the AI now? • Microsoft Office Helpers • Amazon.com • NBA Scout • Furby • Wal-Mart Stocker • Batman the Movie • Half-life • The Sims • NASA

  14. Creative AI’s • AARON the cyberartist • Knowledge of objects and colors • Creates original paintings • The Cyber Poet • “Reads” books and creates a language model • Uses the model to create original hiaku’s Soul A haiku written by Ray Kurzweil's Cybernetic Poet after reading poems by John Keats and Wendy Dennis You broke my soulthe juice of eternity,the spirit of my lips.

  15. Computer Power • Apple IIe, 1983 • 1 Mhz, $1,400 • Dell PC, Today • 4 2 Ghz processors, $900

  16. Embedded Computers: Embedded AI • Augmented Reality • Ubiquitous Computing • GPS: Path Finding • Security Face Recognition

  17. Robotics A machine able to extract information from its environment and use knowledge about its world to move safely in a meaningful manner • Physically Embodied Computation • The Real World is a Harsh Place • Inaccessible • Non-deterministic • Dynamic

  18. Teleprescence • The next best thing to being there? • Meetings, building inspections, home doctor visits, search & rescue • SOE Tour Guide

  19. Autonomous Robots • Mobile Robotics • Maintenance • Construction • Entertainment

  20. Autonomous Robots • Robotics • Productivity • Service • Friends

  21. Everyone can be a robot scientist • Robot Kits between $200 - $2000
