Artificial Intelligence

 Artificial Intelligence allows us to design and build intelligent household, educational and entertainment applications, develop intelligent information search systems, optimise the fuel consumption of cars, schedule trains and airline travel, optimise industrial production, manage stock market trading, discover new marketing opportunities, build vehicles and robots that sense their environment and autonomously navigate, and many other yet-to-be-discovered applications.

These capabilities are covered by topics such as:

• Computer vision
• Planning and acting
• Robotics
• Multi-agents systems
• Speech recognition and
• Natural language understanding.
  

They rely on a broad set of general and specialized knowledge representations and reasoning mechanisms, on problem solving and search algorithms, and on machine learning techniques.

Artificial intelligence provides a set of tools for solving problems that are difficult or impractical to solve with other methods. These include heuristic search and planning algorithms, formalisms for knowledge representation and reasoning, machine learning techniques, and methods applicable to sensing and action problems such as speech and language understanding, computer vision, and robotics.

Computer science involves the understanding and design of algorithms that solve difficult practical problems in areas like:

• Security and privacy
• Robotics
• Pattern and image recognition
• Business intelligence
• Data mining and
  
• Large database management in business or manufacturing.
