a. Evaluate the categories of artificial intelligence and how its implementation may bring betterment to the people.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the area of computer science focusing on creating machines that can engage on behaviors that humans consider intelligent. The ability to create intelligent machines has intrigued humans since ancient times and today with the advent of the computer and 50 years of research into AI programming techniques, the dream of smart machines is becoming a reality. Researchers are creating systems which can mimic human thought, understand speech, beat the best human chess player, and countless other feats never before possible. Find out how the military is applying AI logic to its hi-tech systems, and how in the near future Artificial Intelligence may impact our lives. (ThinkQuest, 1997).
There are several topics of AI that be discussed in detail. The topics are:
1. Games playing
In a number of games, computers have enjoyed success that puts them on par or better with the best humans in the world. In some sense, these games are now the past, in that active research to develop high-performance programs for them is on the wane (or is now
nonexistent). These include games where computers are better than all humans (checkers,
Othello, Scrabble) and those where computers are competitive with the human world champion (backgammon, chess).
1.1 Checkers
Interest in checkers was rekindled in 1989 with the advent of strong commercial programs and a research effort at the University of Alberta?CHINOOK. CHINOOK was authored principally by Jonathan Schaeffer, Norman Treloar, Robert Lake, Paul Lu, and Martin Bryant. The structure of CHINOOK is similar to that of a ty ...
