—man the wise—because our intelligence is so important to us.

Power of Reasoning and Decision Making

For thousands of years, we have tried to understand how we think; that is, how a
mere handful of matter can perceive, understand, predict, and manipulate a world
far larger and more complicated than itself.

Do you believe in Computer Intelligence?

How is the computers controlling our lives nowadays?

Do you usually count money from ATM Machine?

How convenience are you when a traffic light Machine passes traffic at the junction compare
with a police traffic officer?

How safe are you on plane flight

Do Washing Machine wash your clothes better?

Discuss more ways that we rely on the Computer Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence is a branch of Science which deals with helping machines find
solutions to complex problems in a more human-like fashion.

This generally involves borrowing characteristics from human intelligence, and

applying them as algorithms in a computer friendly way.

It is also concerned with the design of intelligence in an artificial device.

 Approaches to AI
Weak AI deals with the creation of some form Cognitive AI: computers are used to test
of computer-based artificial intelligence that theories about how the human mind works--
cannot truly reason and solve problems, but for example, theories about how we recognise

 What can AI systems NOT do yet?

What are the things AI systems cannot do today and WHY?

 Limits of AI Today

➢ Understand natural language robustly (e.g., read and understand articles in a

newspaper)

➢ Surf the web

➢ Interpret an arbitrary visual scene

➢ Learn a natural language

➢ Construct plans in dynamic real-time domains

➢ Exhibit true autonomy and intelligence
