Where do I stand vis-à-vis the Singularity?
 Professor in Computing Science Specializing in Data Mining
and Machine Learning  can’t predict
 Will the Technological Singularity happen?
– hypothetical future emergence of greater-than human
intelligence through technological means
 Yes, but not in the very near future
 Is it a promise of AI? Yes (AI will play a huge role, but AI is a moving target)
 Are there Perils? Yes (Will we be ready when it happens?)

What is Artificial Intelligence?
 Tools that exhibit human intelligence and behaviour including selflearning robots, expert systems, voice recognition, natural and
automated translation. Unesco/education
 The branch of computer science dealing with the reproduction or
mimicking of human-level thought in computers; The essential quality
of a machine which thinks in a manner similar to or on the same
general level as a human being. Wikipedia
 The branch of computer science that deals with writing computer
programs that can solve problems creatively. WordNetWeb
Ability to - reason and plan,
- solve problems,
- think abstractly,
- comprehend complex ideas,

Artificial Intelligence
John McCarthy was responsible for the coining of
the term "Artificial Intelligence" in his 1955 proposal
for the 1956 Dartmouth Conference
"The study is to proceed on the basis of the conjecture that every aspect of
learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely
described that a machine can be made to simulate it."
“The study of intelligent behaviour and the attempt
to find ways in which such behaviour could be
engineered in any type of artefact”

and adaptation in Machines. Wikipedia

What is Intelligence
 The capacity of observing and interpreting the
environment then adapting to it; the ability of learning
from past experiences and profiting from these
experiences to solve problems, including planning.
 Interpret; learn; adapt.  understand to solve.
What is Computational Intelligence
 Programs that analyse and interpret data to learn
from observations and adapt to changing
situations. Hence, Machine Learning (in Part II).

Problem
 Human intelligence is not completely understood
 We cannot comprehend an intelligence superior to our own
 Weak AI: refers to AI that only simulates human thoughts and
actions : actions and ideas are programmed into the machine
– All current forms of AI are weak AI
 Strong AI (true AI): refers to AI that matches or exceeds
human intelligence – not just simulation
 Acting Humanly: Since we do not have a good definition of
"intelligence“ and we know humans are intelligent. If an entity
can masquerade as human so well that we can not detect the
difference, we would say this entity is intelligent.

Acting humanly: Turing Test
 Turing (1950) "Computing machinery and intelligence":
 "Can machines think?"  "Can machines behave intelligently?"
 Operational test for intelligent behavior: the Imitation Game
 Predicted that by 2000, a machine might have a 30% chance of fooling a lay
person for 5 minutes
 Anticipated all major arguments against AI in following 50 years
 Suggested major components of AI: knowledge, reasoning, language
understanding, learning

Abridged modern history of AI
 1950
Turing's "Computing Machinery and Intelligence"
 1956
Dartmouth meeting: "Artificial Intelligence" adopted and field founded
 1957-1974 AI research heavily funded world wide. Funders optimistic about future
 1974
following criticism from researchers and politicians and pressure from
US congress to fund other productive projects funding was cut off (1st AI
winter)
 1970s
Development of Expert Systems
 1980s
AI revived by commercial success of Expert Systems
 1980s
Japan 5th generation computer project inspired research in US and
Europe  new funding
 1987
Collapse of the Lisp machine Market. AI back in disrepute (2nd AI winter)
 1990s
New success for AI thanks to (1) emphasis on solving specific problems;
Specific subproblems
(2) increase of computational power (Moore’s
Law)

Moore’s Law
The number of transistors that can be placed
inexpensively on an integrated circuit doubles
approximately every two years.
This is also verified with disk capacity;
digital camera pixels per price, etc.
with other hardware
An Osborne Executive portable computer, from 1982, and an
iPhone, released 2007. The Executive weighs 100 times as
much, is nearly 500 times as large by volume, costs 10 times
as much, and has 1/100th the clock frequency of the iPhone.

Why is Computational Intelligence Important?
 AI has become important in a number of fields in
helping to make better use of information,
increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of
applications, and enhancing productivity,
particularly when adaptability is relevant
 Research in AI is also important in understanding
and appreciating the complexity of human
intelligence and the human body itself.

Knowledge Representation
• Most AI tasks require significant knowledge: context
knowledge, application knowledge, common sense knowledge
and general knowledge
• Knowledge representation is capital to AI
• How to model knowledge; how to represented concisely; how
to interpret knowledge; and how to provide efficient access
and retrieval when needed.
• Rule-based, graph-based, logic-based, ontologies, semantic
networks, frame representations, concept maps, etc.

Reasoning and Problem Solving
•
Step by step reasoning to solve a problem such as solving a puzzle or making
logical deduction.
•
Combinatorial problems with large search spaces.  Heuristics for pruning
Planning and scheduling
• Intelligent agents, in a given context and new environment need to
choose actions to make in order to reach a goal.
• Action choice is made based on a utility to maximize (maximizing a
reward or minimizing a cost)
• Target a global optimum without falling in a local optimum

Learning
• Learning is central to AI. For an AI program to adapt to its
environment, it has to learn
• Machine Learning provides means to learn from large data,
interpret the trends in the data and adapt to the data as
opposed to static programs
• There is supervised learning, unsupervised learning, active
learning, reinforcement learning inductive learning, etc.
• Machine learning will be covered in Part II

Motion and Manipulation
• Robotics and AI are cousins.
• There is some intelligence required to recognize and manipulate objects;
• There is intelligence required to move in a new environment after
identifying its own location a target place and planning the movement
Emotion
• Intelligent agents interacting with other agents or humans need social
skills (interpreting emotions and exhibiting emotions)
• Modeling human emotions to better interact with humans
• Game theory
Creativity
• AI addresses creativity theoretically and philosophically
• Artificial imagination
• Creations that generate feelings and emotions

Expert Systems
•
Expertise is required in many locations but experts are rare
•
Expert may retire and expert knowledge is lost
•
Can we preserve and duplicate this expert knowledge?
•
Conventional computer programs follow the exact procedure a developer
programmed in them. Expert systems don’t.
•
An expert system is a computer system that emulates the decision-making ability of
a human expert by reasoning about knowledge to solve complex problems given
some contextual facts.
•
There are two types of knowledge: expert knowledge representing the expertise and
typically coded in rules, called knowledge base or rule base; and contextual
knowledge representing the facts of the current case to solve.
