Lecture 1: Development Summary of Artificial Intelligencedefinition of AIartificial intelligence is science of knowledge (knowledge representation, knowledge acquisition and knowledge application).(from discipline)a branch of computer science involved in research, design and application on intelligent machines. Main objectives are to study how to simulate and execute some intelligent features of human brain using machines, and develop related theory and technologies.(from discipline)Artificial intelligence (ability) is human intelligence-related functions performed by intelligent machines, i.e. thinking activities, such as judgment, reasoning, evidence, identify, perceive, understanding, design, thinking, planning, learning and problem solving(from functions)2. intelligent machines, IBM Deep BlueA kind of machine which can be able to perform various anthropomorphic tasks independently or interactively under all kinds of environments3. Human intelligence and AIThe highest level of human mental activity is thinking. The middle level is the primary information processing. The lowest level is the physiological process, that is central nervous system, neurons and brain activity. Levels correspond computer program, computer language and computer hardware. 4. What are main tasks of research on cognitive processes (human cognitive activities vs. computer)?Main tasks of research on cognitive processes are: explore relationship between high-level thinking, decision-making and primary information processing, simulate human thinking by computer programs, and simulate human primary information processing by computer language.5. What is ultimate goal of AI?To achieve various functions of biological intelligence by machine intelligence.Artificial intelligence research objectivesRecent goal: To construct intelligent computer instead of part of human intellectual labor.Long-term goal: To simulate human thinking process and intelligent behavior by automatic machines.Ultimate goal: To
