Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

The big questions of AI:

• Can we build machines that think?
• Can we build machines that learn?
• Can we build machines that are more intelligent than us?
• Can we build machines that are creative?
• Can we build machines that have emotions?
• Can we build machines that are conscious?

AI researchers have been making bold claims since the late 1950s.

Repeatedly, AI’s progress has been much slower than expected.

What is AI?

Artificial: Computational agents, either robotic or software.

Intelligence: Agents capable of achieving goals in the world.
