Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI aims to create systems capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as reasoning, problem-solving, and understanding language.

  • Turing Test: A benchmark proposed to evaluate a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior indistinguishable from that of a human, by having a human judge interact with both a machine and a human without knowing which is which.

  • Intelligent Agents: These are systems that perceive their environment through sensors and take actions via actuators to maximize their chances of success in achieving specific goals.

  • Narrow AI: AI systems designed to perform specific tasks or a limited set of tasks, without possessing general cognitive abilities.

  • General AI: A type of AI that aims to develop machines with broad, human-like cognitive abilities, capable of understanding, learning, and applying knowledge across a wide range of tasks.
