What is AI?

AI Today

  • Mostly about engineering domain-specific solutions
 rather than creating general theories
  • A set of “tools” for representing information and
 using them to solve specific tasks
    • Neural networks, hidden Markov models, Bayesian networks, heuristic search, logic, ...
  • There’s no magic in AI.

It’s representation, probability, and algorithms

More on that ...

Discussion time :)
