representations, and trace how a particular inference algorithm works on

a given problem specification

Course Outcomes:
The students are able to:
Design intelligent agents for problem
solving, reasoning, planning, decision
making, learning, specific design and
performance constraints, and when needed
design variants of existing algorithms
Apply AI technique on current applications
Problem solving, knowledge
representation, reasoning, and learning
MODULE I
What is Artificial Intelligence:
◦ The AI Problems
◦ The Underlying assumption
◦ What is an AI Technique?
◦ The Level of the model
◦ Criteria for success
◦ Some general references
◦ One final word and beyond
Artificial
One of the first things that must be clarified is
the ambiguous word artificial
This adjective can be used in two senses
It is important to determine which one applies
in the term artificial intelligence
The word artificial is used in one sense when it
is applied, say, to flowers and in another sense
when it is applied to light
In both cases something is artificial because it
is fabricated
The artificial is the merely apparent – it
just shows how something else looks
Artificial flowers are not flowers
But artificial light is light and it does
illuminate
In which sense do we use the word
artificial when we speak of AI?
Prehistory
Lord Ganesha
Hephaestus, the god of fire, was known to
be a great blacksmith who created
wondrous, magnificent works
Hephaestus built a bronze palace for the
gods and crafted golden robot-like statues
to serve him
Pygmalion
A brazen head (or brass head or bronze
head) was a legendary automaton that
often appeared in literature, reputed to be
able to answer any question
Kalidasa Story
