Project Goals • What AI is • The basics of how it works • How it is applied to games • In the past • Present • Future • Methods used in game AI • Create a simple tic-tac-toe game to serve as an example
Main concepts • Artificial Intelligence- Intelligence exhibited by an artificial (non-natural, man-made) entity; The branch of computer science dealing with the reproduction or mimicking of human-level thought in computers. In short: Computers that can think like humans • Strong AI- An AI that is greater than or equal to the intelligence of a human • Weak AI- An AI that is “intelligent” only in very specific tasks. Also called “Applied AI”.
Useful definitions • Turing test- If a computer acts as intelligently as a human, then it can be considered as intelligent as a human. • Cognitive Science- The science of how humans think and learn.

Types of tasks • Computational • Can be solved with existing algorithms • Recognition • Sensory recognition, motor tasks • Gathering information about surroundings • Reasoning • Making the best decisions based on the information
