Artificial Intelligence
A brief history of AI
Cool current projects in AI
What’s involved in
Intelligence?
• Ability to interact with the world (speech,
vision, motion, manipulation)
• Ability to model the world and to reason
about it
• Ability to learn and to adapt
Goals in AI
• To build systems that exhibit intelligent
behavior
• To understand intelligence in order to model
it
Modeling people?
• Sometimes
• But sometimes we want AI systems to be
better and smarter than we are
A Brief History of AI
• 1943: McCulloch and Pitts propose a model
of artificial neurons
• 1956 Minsky and Edmonds build first
neural network computer, the SNARC
The Dartmouth Conference
(1956)
• John McCarthy organizes a two-month
workshop for researchers interested in
neural networks and the study of
intelligence
• Agreement to adopt a new name for this
field of study: Artificial Intelligence
1952-1969 Enthusiasm:
• Arthur Samuel’s checkers player
• Shakey the robot
• Lots of work on neural networks
1966-1974 Reality:
• AI problems appear to be too big and
complex
• Computers are very slow, very expensive,
and have very little memory (compared to
today)
1969-1979 Knowledge-based
systems:
• Birth of expert systems
• Idea is to give AI systems lots of
information to start with
1980-1988 AI in industry:
• R1 becomes first successful commercial
expert system
• Some interesting phone company systems
for diagnosing failures of telephone service
1990s to the present:
• Increases in computational power
(computers are cheaper, faster, and have
tons more memory than they used to)
• An example of the coolness of speed:
Computer Chess
Computer Chess
• 2/96: Kasparov vs Deep Blue
– Kasparov victorious: 3 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss
• 3/97: Kasparov vs Deeper Blue
– First match won against world champion
– 512 processors: 200 million chess positions per
second
How do you think it works???

Machine Learning
• Looking for patterns in vast amounts of data
that is just too big for humans to analyze
