Artificial Intelligence --Terminology Here is the list of frequently used terms in the domain of AI − Sr. No Term & Meaning 1 Agent Agents are systems or software programs capable of autonomous, purposeful and reasoning directed towards one or more goals. They are also called assistants, brokers, bots, droids, intelligent agents, and software agents. 2 Autonomous Robot Robot free from external control or influence and able to control itself independently. 3 Backward Chaining Strategy of working backward for Reason/Cause of a problem. 4 Blackboard It is the memory inside computer, which is used for communication between the cooperating expert systems. 5 Environment It is the part of real or computational world inhabited by the agent. 6 Forward Chaining Strategy of working forward for conclusion/solution of a problem. 7 Heuristics It is the knowledge based on Trial-and-error, evaluations, and experimentation. 8 Knowledge Engin...

Artificial Intelligence --  Issues AI is developing with such an incredible speed, sometimes it seems magical. There is an opinion among researchers and developers that AI could grow so immensely strong that it would be difficult for humans to control. Humans developed AI systems by introducing into them every possible intelligence they could, for which the humans themselves now seem threatened. Threat to Privacy An AI program that recognizes speech and understands natural language is theoretically capable of understanding each conversation on e-mails and telephones. Threat to Human Dignity AI systems have already started replacing the human beings in few industries. It should not replace people in the sectors where they are holding dignified positions which are pertaining to ethics such as nursing, surgeon, judge, police officer, etc. Threat to Safety The self-improving AI systems can become so mighty than humans...

Artificial Intelligence -- Expert system Expert systems (ES) are one of the prominent research domains of AI. It is introduced by the researchers at Stanford University, Computer Science Department. What are Expert Systems? The expert systems are the computer applications developed to solve complex problems in a particular domain, at the level of extra-ordinary human intelligence and expertise. CHARACTERISTICS OF EXPERT SYSTEMS High performance Understandable Reliable Highly responsive Capabilities of Expert Systems The expert systems are capable of − Advising Instructing and assisting human in decision making Demonstrating Deriving a solution Diagnosing Explaining Interpreting input Predicting results Justifying the conclusion Suggesting alternative options to a problem They are incapable of − Substituting human decision makers ...

Artificial Intelligence -- Agents and environment An AI system is composed of an agent and its environment. The agents act in their environment. The environment may contain other agents. What are Agent and Environment? An  agent  is anything that can perceive its environment through  sensors  and acts upon that environment through  effectors. A  human agent  has sensory organs such as eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin parallel to the sensors, and other organs such as hands, legs, mouth, for effectors. A  robotic agent  replaces cameras and infrared range finders for the sensors, and various motors and actuators for effectors. A  software agent  has encoded bit strings as its programs and actions. Agent Terminology Performance Measure of Agent  − It is the criteria, which determines how successful an agent is. Behavior of Agent  − It is the action that agent ...

Artificial Intelligence --  overview Since the invention of computers or machines, their capability to perform various tasks went on growing exponentially. Humans have developed the power of computer systems in terms of their diverse working domains, their increasing speed, and reducing size with respect to time. A branch of Computer Science named  Artificial Intelligence pursues creating the computers or machines as intelligent as human beings. What is Artificial Intelligence? According to the father of Artificial Intelligence, John McCarthy, it is  “The science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs”. Artificial Intelligence is a way of  making a computer, a computer-controlled robot, or a software think intelligently , in the similar manner the intelligent humans think. AI is accomplished by studying how human brain thinks, and how humans learn, decide, and work while ...
