ArtificialIntelligence
Artificial Intelligence
Definition:
AI (pronounced AYE-EYE) or artificial intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. These processes include learning (the acquisition of information and rules for using the information), reasoning (using the rules to reach approximate or definite conclusions), and self-correction. Particular applications of AI include [1]expert systems, [2]speech recognition, and [3]machine vision.

Computers created as part of a search to "what electricity can do", once we had [4]Manchester Mark 1(1947) evolution took its course and now we ask "what can computers do". AI is the next frontier in computer evolution, AI goals is to push computer capability over the edge and make it stop getting orders and programming rather get directions and rules and follow the path that every child takes while learning, the applications are endless and the implications and moral issues has yet to reveal us the true nature of this "digital Homo sapiens".
AI is a world of its own, it's a layer upon programming language and design, its application layer with a whole new mining to it, this page goal is to discover this world piece by piece, to guide beginners and share expert knowledge, to keep link page with short description, to maintain technical and non-technical articles, code snippets, or news flash.
As I was browsing through some AI reading material, and tried to ask my self what should I start with as first article I contribute, first thing came to mind was that the topics and issues needed to be addressed are extensive, there are tons of articles trailing back to the 50's, with major universities and scientists laying land marks along the way, so as I do with each problem I encounter I try to abstract in order to organize and better understand the task at hand,
"Abstraction is one of the fundamental ways that we as humans cope with complexity"
Grady Booch (1994), "Object-Oriented Analysis and Design with Applications"
The way I see it we should pursue this matter from three different angles, the philosophical, theoretical and implementational,

The way I see it we should pursue this matter from three different angles, the philosophical, theoretical and implementational,
- Philosophical: this section should contain documents dealing with the big questions, like what is life, how to define a mind, what intelligent means, pros and cons, will AI have rights, what basic rules should it contain, how to mimic evolution, when or will it dies etc.
- Theoretical: the theoretical section should include articles covering programming techniques, like pattern matching, fuzzy logic and forgetfulness etc, this is the place to insert code examples and technical articles.
- Implementational: last but certainly not least the implementations, past future and present, e.g. Navlab, CYC, Cog, Star-Trek Voyagers EMH etc.

- 1). An expert system is a computer program that simulates the judgement and behavior of a human or an organization that has expert knowledge and experience in a particular field.
- 2). speech recognition involves the ability to match a voice pattern against a provided or acquired vocabulary.
- 3). Machine vision is the ability of a computer to "see." A machine-vision system employs one or more video cameras, The resulting data goes to a computer or robot controller.
- 4). Manchester Mark 1 It was the first machine that had all the components now classically regarded as characteristic of the basic computer (beside SSEM).
