But AIers don’t just concern themselves with dreams of autonomous agents, but
also the development of intelligent (cognitive) tools to assist humans – or to put it
another way, the development of smarter “hybrid agents” (human + tools) that are
better than either component alone. (DHF)

An AI need not operate like an NI, just as a plane need
not operate like a bird
The space of known naturally-occurring
intelligences (humans, other animals, societies,
nature, …)
The space of possible intelligences (alien,
machine, human and AI hybrids, …)

What of a hybrid human and AI (intelligent tool)? (DHF)
What is Artificial Intelligence?
The computational science of developing smart(er) artificial agents
IBM’s Deep Blue
IBM’s Watson
Apple’s SIRI
Identify other examples of artificial agents that act intelligently
The computational science of nondeterministic reasoning
Exploring, evaluating and acting on choices
AI and NP (nondeterministic polynomial) problems
