But AIers don’t just concern themselves with dreams of autonomous agents, but also the development of intelligent (cognitive) tools to assist humans – or to put itanother way, the development of smarter “hybrid agents” (human + tools) that arebetter than either component alone. (DHF)
An AI need not operate like an NI, just as a plane need not operate like a bird
The space of known naturally-occurringintelligences (humans, other animals, societies,nature, …)
The space of possible intelligences (alien,machine, human and AI hybrids, …)
Douglas H. Fisher
What is Artificial Intelligence?
The computational science of developing smart(er) artificial agents
IBM’s Deep Blue
IBM’s Watson
Apple’s SIRI
Identify other examples of artificial agents that act intelligently
The computational science of nondeterministic reasoning
Exploring, evaluating and acting on choices
AI and NP (nondeterministic polynomial) problems
