    The document criticizes common definitions of artificial intelligence and proposes improved definitions. It argues that defining AI as "cool things computers can't do" is too vague and subjective. Defining it as "machines imitating human behavior" oversimplifies and limits AI to human abilities rather than allowing it to perform beyond human capabilities. Defining AI as "autonomous and adaptive systems" is too specific as a system can be autonomous and adaptive without being intelligent. The document then provides improved definitions of AI as the performance of intelligent tasks, the development of systems that can learn and reason like humans, and as computer systems capable of operations normally requiring human intelligence.

    CMP 405 (INTRODUCTION TO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE)


    PROBLEMS WITH THE COMMON DEFINITON OF AI

    ”COOL THINGS COMPUTER CAN’T DO”:

    It can’t be classified as a reasonable definition because it reduced the complex field to a vague notion of
    just cool things that common computers can’t do. The term ‘cool” varies from person to person, it can
    look basic to one person and advanced to another person. Furthermore, the performance of cool things
    by computer systems does not justify the fact that it can replicate a human intelligence or is intelligent
    in anyway.

    “MACHINES IMITATING INTELLIGENT HUMAN BEHAVIOR. ”

    This simplifies the concept to the bare minimum by stating that the main job or purpose of an ai is to
    imitate a human being. It should include the ability to learn adapt, develop and even perform tasks
    beyond human capabilities not limiting itself to the abilities of a human under the guise of imitation.

    “AUTONOMOUS AND ADAPTIVE SYSTEMS.”

    The problem with this definition is its specificity. Both terms are crucial attributes of an artificially
    intelligent system. It overlooks the ability of a system to make decisions or learn and adapt.
    Furthermore, a system can be autonomous and adaptive without being intelligent. If it doesn’t have
    certain factors, it cannot be intelligent.
    IMPROVED DEFINITONS
    ”COOL THINGS COMPUTER CAN’T DO”:

    A better definition of Artificial intelligence would be the performance of tasks that require
    human intelligence. Tasks like decision making, learning, development and the likes.

    “MACHINES IMITATING INTELLIGENT HUMAN BEHAVIOR. ”

    A better definition of artificial intelligence would be the development of computational systems


    or algorithms capable of carrying out operations that would normally need human intelligence.
    This include learning, reasoning, solving problems, comprehending spoken language, and
    changing with the times.

    “AUTONOMOUS AND ADAPTIVE SYSTEMS.”

    The term artificial intelligence (AI) describes the creation of computer systems that are capable
    of carrying out operations that normally require human intelligence, such as reading natural
    language, picking up patterns, learning from experience, and making defensible conclusions.
