AI (Artificial Intelligence)
Week #1st
Semester: 6th

Lecture: 1st

Prepare by: Ismail “abid” Year: 1402

 Objective(s)
The objective of this chapter is to introduce the
Students with AI, definition, history and predictions.
 What is Artificial intelligence?
"Artificial Intelligence is composed of two words
Artificial and
Intelligence, where Artificial defines "man-made," and
intelligence defines "thinking power", hence AI means "a man-made
thinking power
 What is Artificial intelligence?
"It is a branch of computer science by which we can create
intelligent machines which can
Behave like a human
Think like humans and
Able to make decisions."
 Computer VS human brain
The human brain possesses an interesting property.

For tasks such as vision, language and motor control, a brain is more
powerful than 1000 supercomputers.

And yet, for simple tasks such as multiplication it is less powerful

than a 4 bit microprocessor.
 What is Intelligence?
The ability to grasp ‫ درک ک(ردن‬the essentials in any situation and to
respond appropriately to those essentials is, intelligence.
 What is Intelligence?
It is the ability to reason.

It is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge.

It is the ability to manipulate and communicate ideas.

 What is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial Intelligence (A.I) is the study of how to make computers

do things at which, at the moment, people are better. (RICH, 1983).
It is the study of ideas that enables computers to be intelligent.
(WINSTON, 1984).
It is simply a way of making a computer think intelligently.
(LEVINE etal, 1986).
 What is Artificial Intelligence (Modern definition)?

The modern definition of artificial intelligence (or A.I):

Is "the study and design of intelligent agent " where an
intelligent agent is
a system that perceive its environment and takes actions which
maximizes its chances of success.
 History of Artificial Intelligence?
The field of A.I was born at a conference on the campus of
Dartmouth College USA in the summer of 1956 & the Leaders of A.I
are John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Allen Nawell and Herbert
Simon.

1. “Machines will be capable, within twenty years, of doing any

work a man can do.” H.A Simon (1965)

2. “Within a generation, the problem of creating 'artificial

intelligence' will substantially be solved.” Marvin Minsky
(1967).
 History of Artificial Intelligence?
These predictions failed because of following reasons:

 The lack of computer power.

 Failing of logic.
 The difficulty of representing commonsense knowledge.
 The work on A.I stopped because of high criticism.
 History of Artificial Intelligence?

In the early 80s, the field was revived by the commercial success of
expert system and by 1985 the market for AI had reached more than a
billion dollars.

In the 90s, AI achieved its greatest successes because of the

incredible power of computers and a greater emphasis on solving
specific problems.
 Summary

 Artificial intelligence is mad of 2 main words

 Artificial
 Intelligence
 AI is the core subject of Computer science and is used to enable a
machine using application to
 Think intelligence
 Take decision intelligently like
Human being.
