The movie I, Robot presents us with a future that one day robot may take out humanity. Despite worries that robot will take jobs from human, we could hope that human life will be more efficient and convenient with the help of AI.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is intelligence exhibited by machines and the main is programming. Scientist claim that intelligence is the ability to adapt one's behavior to fit a new circumstance. That means that the heart of AI is to make computer thinks rationally. Last year, an Go computer program called Alpha Go beat the world Go champion. This is considered to be a great leap of AI because playing Go requires more than just computation and repetition.
Intelligence requires many different components that are: learning, reasoning and problem-solving.
Learning is quite simple, which is performed by trial-and-error. Like the journal that I wrote earlier, the Eight Queen is a perfect example of trial-and-error program, when the program gets the right answer and memorize that, it learns.
Reasoning is the ability that one can distinguish from its judgement. An easy example is that: he is either in the dorm or dhall. So if he is not in dorm, he is in dhall. AI should be able to come out with this kind of conclusion based on its deductive base and also distinguish the relevance from the irrelevance.
One last component is problem-solving. Given a problem like finishing a math problem or wining a chess game, it should be able to solve the problem based on its learning and reasoning.
Although in our life nowadays there are a lot of examples of these kinds of programs like Siri, games that are able to solve some problems, they still can't satisfy scientist's expectation of AI: machine that can think and act rationally. This field is still very potential for us to explore.

Great blog! When I was growing up I, Robot was one of my favorite movies! I actually also wrote a blog about artificial intelligence as well however I really like how you explained all aspects of it while I only explained machine learning. Feel free to check out my blog topic about this if you would like to learn more about it!
回复删除Artificial Intelligence can help people work more efficiently and improve the quality of lives. However, they may cause a huge problem when they are out of control. So, we should also care about how to prevent this situation.
