CMPSC 165A Chapter Notes - Chapter 1: Expert System, Materialism, Perceptron
Document Summary
Artificial intelligence attempts to understand and build intelligent entities. Computer passes if a human interrogator cannot tell whether responses come from a person or a computer. To pass turing test, computer would need these capabilities: Use stored information to answer questions and draw new conclusions. Adapt to new circumstances and to detect and extrapolate patterns. Total turing test allows you to test perceptual abilities and use physical objects. To say a program thinks like a human, need to determine how humans think by: Introspection = trying to catch your own thoughts as they go by. 1. 1. 3 thinking rationally: the "laws of thought" approach. Need to translate informal logic into formal terms required by logical notation --> difficult. Solving a problem "in principle" is different from solving it in practice. Rational agent = an agent that acts to achieve the best (expected) outcome. Skills needed for turing test allow an agent to act rationally.
