What is AI? Views of AI fall into four categories: The textbook advocates "acting rationally"
Acting humanly: Turing Test • Turing (1950) "Computing machinery and intelligence": “Can machines think?” “Can machines behave intelligently?” • Predicted that by 2000, a machine might have a 30% chance of fooling a lay person for 5 minutes • Anticipated all major arguments against AI in following 50 years • Suggested major components of AI: knowledge, reasoning, language understanding, learning • Capabilities • Natural language processing • Knowledge representation • Automated reasoning • Machine learning • Computer vision • robotics
Thinking humanly: cognitive modeling • 1960s "cognitive revolution": information-processing psychology • Requires scientific theories of internal activities of the brain • How to validate? Requires • Predicting and testing behavior of human subjects (top-down) • Direct identification from neurological data (bottom-up) • Both approaches (roughly, Cognitive Science and Cognitive Neuroscience) are now distinct from AI
Thinking rationally: "laws of thought" • Aristotle: what are correct arguments/thought processes? • Syllogisms: patterns for argument structures • Socrates is a man; all men are mortal; Socrates is mortal. • Logicians in the 19th century developed a precise notation for statements about all kinds of objects in the world Problems: • It’s not easy to take informal knowledge and state it in the formal terms required by logical notation • There is a big difference between solving a problem “in principle” and solving it “in practice”
Acting rationally: rational agent • Rational behavior: doing the right thing • The right thing: which is expected to maximize goal achievement, given the available information The rational-agent approach has two advantages • It’s more general than the “laws of thought” because correct inference is just one of several possible mechanisms for achieving rationality • Second , it’s more amendable to scientific development than approaches based on human behavior or human thought. • One point to keep in mind: we will see before too long that achieving perfect rationality is not feasible in complicated environments
Brief history of AI • In 1950, the famous Turing test was born, according to the definition of "the father of artificial intelligence" Alan Turing: if a machine can talk to humans (via telex equipment) without being identified as a machine, then the machine is said to be intelligent. • That same year, Turing also predicted the possibility of creating machines with real intelligence. Alan Mathison Turing
Turing Test • Three rooms contain a person, a computer, and an interrogator. • The interrogator can communicate with the other two by teleprinter. • The interrogator tries to determine which is the person and which is the machine. • The machine tries to fool the interrogator into believing that it is the person. • If the machine succeeds, then we conclude that the machine can think.
Brief history of AI • The first programmable robot was born in 1954. • In the summer of 1956, Dartmouth college in the United States held the first ever seminar on artificial intelligence, which was regarded as a sign of the birth of artificial intelligence.
Brief history of AI • 1966 ~1972,the first artificial intelligence robot Shakey was born • The program actually provides some simulated responses to answer user questions. • It shows people that a program that is strong enough should be intelligent.
Brief history of AI • In the early 1970s, artificial intelligence hit a bottleneck.The limited memory and processing speed of computers at the time were not enough to solve any real ai problems.(known as an "AI winter") • There's this stupid myth out there that AI has failed, but AI is around you every second of the day. • ——Rodney Brooks
Brief history of AI • The term "winter of AI" was coined by researchers who experienced funding cuts in 1974.They note the craze for expert systems, and expect disappointment soon. Unfortunately for them, the usefulness of expert systems is limited to specific situations. • By the late 1980s, the new head of the defense advanced research projects agency (DARPA) thought ai was not "the next wave," and grants would favor projects that looked easier to produce.
Brief history of AI • 1997: computer deep blue wins world chess championship. • 2011: developed an artificial intelligence program that answers questions using natural language • 2012:The Canadian team of neuroscientists created a virtual brain with simple cognitive abilities and 2.5 million simulated "neurons," named "Spaun," and passed the most basic IQ tests.
Brief history of AI • 2013: deep learning algorithm is widely used in product development. • 2015: the year of breakthrough in artificial intelligence. • 2016: AlphaGo beats go world champion lee sedol. • 2017:AlphaGo Zero triumphed over AlphaGo.
Great persons • Andrew Ng • Ng is one of the most authoritative international scholars in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning. • Yann LeCun • He is well known for his work on optical character recognition and computer vision using convolutional neural networks (CNN), and is a founding father of convolutional nets.
