Term: Artificial Intelligence Situation and audience A group of first year university students attending a lecture on the development of artificial intelligence with no previous experience in computer science. Parenthetical definition An advanced machine or computer can display artificial intelligence (the ability for a machine to act rationally). Sentence definition Artificial intelligence is the science of studying and creating intelligent machines that have the ability to think rationally. This means that the machine is able to act appropriately, be flexible, learn from experience, and make appropriate decisions based on their circumstances. Expansion definition: (History, example, visual, negation) History of Artificial Intelligence: One of the notable forefathers of artificial intelligence was Alan Turing, an English mathematician that published the paper “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” in 1950. He is famously known for the Turing Test, which is a test that shows whether or not a computer or machine can think; if the computer is indistinguishable from a real human being, then it is concluded that the machine is able to think. Since the conception of this test, there has been no machine to successfully pass the test (Smith, McGuire, Huang, & Yang, 2006). The field of artificial intelligence is constantly evolving. The idea of “intelligence” is quantified on a spectrum. Although there has yet to be a machine to pass the Turing Test, many machines and devices we use are still considered artificially intelligent. Scientists are still developing new machines in hopes to pass the Turing Test. How is it used? Artificial intelligence is used in many real-world devices that we use on a daily basis. For example, the iPhone’s Siri is an example of artificial intelligence. The phone is able to use voice recognition perform tasks and carry simple conversations with the user. Apple has developed Siri to also sound and talk like a normal female human and also has the ability to respond with humour (Canbek & Mutlu, 2016). Visual Representation (Image of the Artificial Intelligence system: Poole & Mackworth, 2010) In this representation, artificial intelligence is shown as a system where there are inputs into an agent (machine or computer) that are intrinsic to the agent. The system uses this information to produce actions that affect the environment, which then provides feedback to the machine to learn and generate more informed future outputs. Negation A lot of people often misunderstand artificial intelligence as robots being “alive”, which is a common misrepresentation of the term in mass media. Robots and computers do not have consciousness like humans do, but can have artificial intelligence in the sense that the machines can utilize and learn information to make rational decisions and actions.
