Artificial Intelligence is a lot of
different things to a lot of different people. Let's go through a few things
that AI is thought to be and situate them within the broader picture of AI.
qArtificial
intelligence (AI):
Computers with the ability to mimic or duplicate the
functions of the human brain
qArtificial
intelligence systems: The
people, procedures, hardware, software, data, and knowledge needed to develop
computer systems and machines that demonstrate the characteristics of
intelligence
Computational
models of human behavior:
One thing it could be
is "Making computational models of human behavior". Since we believe
that humans are intelligent, therefore models of intelligent behavior must be
AI. There's a great paper by Turing who really set up this idea of AI as making
models of human behavior (link). In this way of thinking of AI, how would you
proceed as an AI scientist? One way, which would be a kind of cognitive
science, is to do experiments on humans, see how they behave in certain
situations and see if you could make computers behave in that same way.
