Artificial Intelligence (AI)
What is INTELLIGENCE? Ability to reason Ability to acquire and use knowledge Ability to perceive ideas Ability to manipulate objects What is AI? Ability of computers to imitate human behaviour and thought processes. Information and Software Technology
4
AI where is it at? Information and Software Technology
5
Historical Perspective of AI
Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle (384 – 322BC) logical reasoning form the basis of many AI systems. Aristotle Info Information and Software Technology
6
Historical Perspectives of AI
Alan Turing (1912 – 1954) created the Turing machine that could perform logical operations. The Turing test is where a human has to determine if the response was generated by a computer or a human. Who Was Alan Turing The Enigma Information and Software Technology

PREZI Create a PREZI on something to do with AI (can not be a movie)
Include pictures and video. Present a 5 Minute PREZI to the class. Information and Software Technology
16
Neural networks A computer system that works like the human brain and is capable of learning. Watch video Information and Software Technology
17
AI Terminology Knowledge bases – a centralised repository for information. Computers can be programmed to use rules based on set conditions. IF-THEN rule. IF this knowledge exists (premise) THEN do this (conclusion). Information and Software Technology
18
AI Terminology Agents – A piece of software designed to search through databases for relevant data. Used in neural networks to search vast amounts of data. Information and Software Technology
19
AI Terminology Demons – A program that springs to life when it is relevant. Allow computers to be self-modifying. HW Page 175 Exercise 8.2 q’s 1-4 Information and Software Technology
20
Modelling and simulations
Model – a simpler version of a real world object or idea. Modelling – process of creating a model. Information and Software Technology
21
Modelling and simulations
Computer model – an electronic representation of an object or idea. Simulation – the process of imitating real-life occurrences in order to test a model. Information and Software Technology
22
Purposes of Modelling and Simulations
Spreadsheets Financial Planners Car Manufacturers Training Simulators Drilling Simulators Space Shuttle Missions Scientific Simulations Astronomers Information and Software Technology
23
Advantages and Limitations
Safer, cheaper and quicker to use a model. More efficient and minor changes to the models can be easily altered. Life Like????? Information and Software Technology
24
Advantages and Limitations
Might be the only method for training (astronauts). The simulation is only as good as the model that was created. Information and Software Technology
25
Advantages and Limitations
Models are often too simplistic and lead to inaccurate results. HW Page 178 Exercise 8.3 q’s 1-4 Information and Software Technology
26
Requirements of Models and Simulations
Hardware Can take a lot of time to build the required hardware. The hardware needs fast processing Parallel processing (linking of two or more processing units within the one computer) is often used. Large amounts of storage space is required. Information and Software Technology
27
Requirements of Models and Simulations
Software Required to carry out complex computations. Specifically designed to suit the model. Information and Software Technology
28
Simulators A hardware device that imitates certain environments. Used for training and experiments to simulate movement. Information and Software Technology
29
Simulators Flight simulators
Used to train pilots and provide realistic feelings of flying Has working replica of cockpit, computers, projectors and screens. Information and Software Technology
