Pages - Introductory

1   Early pages

The being on the left is taken to be a robot taking us through pages.  Let's call him Poirot.

                                           

1. On p 5, Poirot says the concern is "... virtual agents or software agents that exist as models occupying a virtual environment held inside a computer." 
2.  
3. However ...
4. 
   
5.  ..... many advancements in AI robotics aim for autonomous robots that can operate independently of human operators, making decisions and executing tasks without constant human intervention. source
6. 
   
7. Page 6 reveals that Marvin Minsky, a founding father of AI says that "AI has one foot in science and one in engineering".  more
8. 
   
9. "Strong AI - the goal is to build a machine capable of thought, consciousness and emotions."  more
10. 
    
11. Weak AI - "The aim is develop theories of human and animal intelligence and then test ... by building working models usually in the form of computer models or robots."  A possible source
12. 
    
13. At foot of page: Weak AI - a tool for understanding the mind.  Strong AI, the model is a mind. more

End of Minsky quotes. Supplemented as you see.

... is of little consequence.  p 9

Just as well, looking at the top text.  "...beyond those found in humans.."  Man's greatest AI fear???

Not included in the book.  We now move on to

3   Artificial neural networks. 

1. Artificial neural networks (ANNs), inspired by the human brain, are computational models that learn by processing data and adjusting their internal parameters to make predictions or decisions. 
2. 
   
3. They consist of interconnected nodes (neurons) organized in layers, and different types of ANNs include feedforward, recurrent, and convolutional networks, each suited for specific tasks. 
4. 
   
5. See it a screen down on the page here.

4    Read the whole 'Artificial Intelligence - A Graphic Guide' book. 

As you saw earlier, the book is cheap enough.

Otherwise, read it here but it's less convenient.
