Artificial intelligence Definition and 70 Threads

What programming language is used when creating artificial intelligence.

It's time to admit we haven't exactly been straightforwards with PFers. The user you know as jhae2.718 is not, in fact, a person at all, but rather an experiment in artificial intelligence that we have been running in our computer science department. One of our PhD students wrote her...

Although there is over the years some significant progress in artificial intelligence (computer beating human chess player, etc.) here is a method of advancing the field of artificial intelligence very fast. The idea is just this: brain cells, the neurons, even when the person is already...

Hi I am completely new to the area of AI. Can someone direct me where to begin on the subject? Artificial Neural Networks also come under AI? What if I start with that? Can someone suggest some project that I can pursue in ANN, as a beginner...?

Hi, I'm Ben. I was wondering if there are any practical, profitable areas where studying Artificial Intelligence would be appropriate. From what I've heard, AI is mainly grounded in theoretical computer science, which is the most interesting aspect of it. But in regards to what is in demand...

Hi all, :smile: Technology has advanced phenomenally in the past few decades or so. A particular point of concern…….yeah that’s right!, ‘concern’ is the massive advent in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. Softwares so powerful that it will decide the fate of mankind! Maybe, the...

Lets say that a large number of computers, such as 100000000, were networked with as few barriers as possible. Will this system show signs leaning towards artificial intelligence?

Hi, are there any colleges that offer rigorous programs for both MIS and Artificial Intelligence degrees? Also, will MIS/Computational Neuroscience/AI require similar core courses to take? Thanks.

Hello ppl, my name is Werner and I am new to the forums. Well, i am currently a freshman at Cal Poly Pomona and undecided on what degree to take. My main objective is to work on Robotics/Mechatronics fields, concentrating mainly on artificial intelligence. By AI, i mean developing the "mind" of...

In terms of Computers and Technology, Artificial Intelligence is the next step. Now A friend of mine and I are forming a team, to say the least, to create an AI that will perform the functions and tasks requested of it. For specifics or if you are interested Private Message me. I am also...

When (if at all) artificial intelligence reaches and surpasses human intelligence, how likely is it that they will be hostile to humans, or possibly enslave them? I mean, what need would they have for us obsolete bags of salty water? Do you think there would be any way for us to control them?

My attempt at making an Artificial Intelligence Program Hi. I would like some comments on my artificial "logician". So far it is limited to syllogisms, where you type in a phrases such as "No dogs are cats" and "All cats are animals" and then the program prints out phrases such as "Some...

1st time post here... thought i'd post up something that causes much debate over... but a good topic. ;-) (please keep it level-minded and not a heated argument) Question: Can Artificial Intelligence ever reach Human Intelligence? please give your thoughts... i vote no.

Hi, i need some advice on my academic path. im very interested in artificial intelligence and possibly hope to create a AI being that is truly able to think on its own. now which university course should i enrol? how abt masters? phd? and maybe which university is best for my interest...

First of let me explain who I am: I am a ninth grader in a math honors class, and we have to pick a topic to research, and write a 15 page math research paper on it. I chose artificial intelligence. So now I need books, not textbooks, on artificial intelligence. If anyone has any...

Can an artificially intelligent machine exist. One that will pass a Turing test? Does a brain work algorithmically, or is there really something we call a "spirit" inside of us that generates a personality? Or could a computer potentially reproduce the way in which a human brain works by using...

Ok. This thread may border on similarity to the brain thread, but I thought I'd start fresh. I would just like to toss around some ideas about AI. I'm not seriously researching, I don't have some crazy dream about actually building something, just interested. Some basic requirements...

What exactly is artificial intelligence, what are some of its practical applications, and have we created it yet? Please no arguments that humans are not intelligent! If it comes to that then this thread is useless.

As many of you know, I object to the reference of all intelligence, other than that of organic beings, as being "artificial". That is the point of this thread. Here are the definitions of the key-words, "intelligence" and "artifical": I have not included all definitions of "artificial"...

"A mind differs from a computer in no other respect but complexity" There is a lot of ongoing debate on this topic. On one side, theologists believe that a mind is supernatural and cannot be reproduced by machines. On the other side, A.I. experts, physicalists and atheists like myself believe...
