Artificial Intelligence: VOLUME I

Thinking of starting your career in Artificial Intelligence?

Then you have landed in the right place.

The overall aim of this crash course Artificial Intelligence is to explore and examine key concepts, methods and techniques used in the Artificial Intelligence practical usage and also to look at the organisation, the group, the individual and their interaction within the confines of the artificial intelligence implementation lifecycle.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a research field in computer science, which studies how to transfer (or impact) the human intelligence and (/or) logical behaviours to the computer machines. The ultimate goal of Artificial intelligence is to make or develop computer systems that can independently and autonomously learn, plan, strategies, and solve real-life problems. Due to the extensive and unrelenting studies that have been carried out in this magnificent field (of computer science) for more than half a century, systems are now built that can stand the test of intelligence with human beings. Examples of such intelligent systems include self-driving cars, online robotic teaching agents, intelligent home service agents, autonomous planning agents, Deep Blue IBM system (famously known for defeating a world chess champion) etc.

This book is Part I of the II Parts series, in this introductory course on AI, we will study the most fundamental knowledge for understanding artificial intelligence. The first 10 chapters of this introductory course cover the fundamental and foundational principles driving the design, development, and implementation of intelligent systems. The topics discussed include AI fundamentals and methodology; historical background; Applications and impact of AI; Intelligent Agents; Problem Solving; Basic and Advanced Search Strategies.

The succeeding 5 chapters introduce the reader to more advanced forms of AI, which includes: knowledge representation; First-Order Logic; Uncertain Knowledge and Reasoning; Making Simple and Complex Decisions.

The reader will also learn ‘how to’ use Artificial intelligence with the practical case studies and walk-through examples to practice. We will go through the usage of Artificial intelligence within Digital World such as using Artificial Intelligence in Online Platforms, Marketplaces Platforms, Social Media Platform, Gaming Platforms and much more in Part II of this introductory series.

The main goal of the course is to equip you with the tools to tackle new AI problems you might encounter in life.

What Will You Learn?

The main purpose of this course is to provide the most fundamental knowledge on AI to the reader so that they can understand what the Artificial Intelligence (‘AI’) is all about.

Course Objectives

• To have an appreciation for artificial intelligence and an understanding of both the triumphs of AI and the principles fundamental to those accomplishments.
• To have an appreciation for the core principles which are essential to the design of artificial intelligence systems.
• To have an elementary adeptness in a traditional artificial intelligence language which includes an ability to write simple programs.
• To have an understanding of the basic search strategies, as well as more advanced search strategies and fundamental issues hovering over intelligent agents and their environments.
