Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a fascinating and rapidly

evolving field of computer science that aims to create
machines and systems that can perform tasks that normally
require human intelligence.
Some examples of AI applications are speech recognition, face
detection, natural language processing, machine learning,
computer vision, robotics, and gaming.
 AI is also used in various domains and industries, such as
healthcare, education, finance, entertainment, and defense.
• Artificial intelligence (AI) is the branch of computer
science that deals with creating machines and systems
that can perform tasks that normally require human
intelligence, such as reasoning, learning, decision
making, and problem solving.
• AI can also be defined as the simulation of human
intelligence processes by machines, especially
computer systems.
• AI can be classified into different types, such as narrow
AI, general AI, and super AI, depending on the level of
intelligence and capability they possess.
• Narrow AI: This type of AI can perform specific tasks very well, but
cannot generalize to other situations or domains. For example, a
chess-playing program can beat human grandmasters, but it cannot
play any other game or understand natural language.
• General AI: This type of AI can perform any intellectual task that a
human can do, such as reasoning, learning, planning, and problem-
solving. It can also adapt to new situations and domains. However, this
type of AI is still a theoretical concept and has not been achieved yet.
• Super AI: This type of AI can surpass human intelligence and
capabilities in every aspect, such as creativity, wisdom, and social
skills. It can also invent new technologies and goals. This type of AI is
also hypothetical and may pose ethical and existential risks to
humanity.

Definition and importance of Knowledge,
In AI, knowledge is awareness or familiarity gained by
experiences of facts, data, and situations.
There are various types of knowledge in artificial
intelligence such as declarative knowledge, procedural
knowledge, meta-knowledge, and heuristic knowledge .
 Declarative knowledge is to know about something. It
includes concepts, facts, and objects.
Procedural knowledge is a type of knowledge which is
responsible for knowing how to do something. It can be
directly applied to any task.
Meta-knowledge is knowledge about the other types of
knowledge.
Heuristic knowledge is representing knowledge of some
experts in a field or subject.Heuristic knowledge is rules of
thumb based on previous experiences, awareness of
approaches, and which are good to work but not
 Learning Agent and it’s performance measure
A learning agent is an AI agent that improves its performance over time based on the
interaction with the environment or experience . The human is an example of a learning
agent. For instance, a human can learn to ride a bicycle, even though, at birth, no
human possesses this skill . Learning agents can be found in various fields, including
robotics .
The performance measure of an agent is the criteria that determine how successful an
agent is . It is used to judge the rationality of an agent based on the following points:
the performance measure that defines the success criterion, agent prior knowledge of
its environment, best possible actions that an agent can perform, and the sequence of
percepts .
1. Percept:
1. The percept represents the agent's sensory input or observations of the environment.
It includes all the information the agent receives from its surroundings.
2.Actions:
1. Actions are the decisions or behaviors that the agent can take. These actions are
based on the information gathered from the environment and the agent's internal
state.
3.Learning Algorithm:
1. The learning algorithm is the mechanism through which the agent updates its internal
state or knowledge based on the feedback received from the environment. This allows
The performance measure is a crucial aspect of a learning agent as it defines
the criteria for success or effectiveness. The choice of a performance measure
depends on the specific goals and objectives of the agent and the task it is
designed to perform.

1.Reward Signals:
1. In reinforcement learning, a common approach is to use a reward
signal as the performance measure. The agent receives positive or
negative rewards based on the quality of its actions. The goal is for the
agent to learn to maximize cumulative rewards over time.
2.Accuracy or Error Rate:
1. For tasks such as classification or prediction, the accuracy or error rate
can serve as a performance measure. The agent aims to minimize
errors and improve its predictive accuracy.
3.Utility Functions:
1. Utility functions quantify the desirability of different outcomes. The
agent seeks to maximize the overall utility, taking into account the
potential benefits and costs associated with its actions.
5. Cost Functions:
In some cases, the goal is to minimize costs. Cost functions
measure the expenses or resources required for the agent to
achieve its objectives, and the agent seeks to minimize these
costs.
6. Objective-specific Metrics:
The performance measure can be tailored to the specific
objectives of the learning agent. This might include metrics
such as customer satisfaction, response time, or any other
relevant measure of success.
Problems Definition, Real life problems and well-defined problem

In the field of problem-solving, a problem is defined as an unwelcome

or harmful situation that needs to be dealt with or overcome . There
are two types of problems: well-defined problems and ill-defined
problems .
 A well-defined problem is one in which the initial state or starting
position, the allowable operations, and the goal state are clearly
specified, and a unique solution can be shown to exist . Examples of
well-defined problems include the Tower of Hanoi, Wason selection
task, and water-jar problems .
On the other hand, an ill-defined problem is one that lacks one or
more of these specified properties and has multiple possible
solutions . Most problems encountered in everyday life fall into the
category of ill-defined problems.
Real-life problems
• Real-life problems are often ill-defined problems that
require creative thinking and problem-solving skills to
solve .
• They are complex and multifaceted, and often require a
combination of knowledge, skills, and experience to
solve .
• Examples of real-life problems include climate change,
poverty, and healthcare .
