1.1 What Is AI?
p n pn pn




Exercise 1.1.#DEFA pn



Define in your own words: (a) intelligence, (b) artificial intelligence, (c) agent, (d) ra-
pn pn pn pn p n pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



tionality, (e) logical reasoning.
pn pn pn pn




a. Dictionary definitions of intelligence talk about “the capacity to acquire and apply k
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



nowledge” or “the faculty of thought and reason” or “the ability to comprehend and
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



profit from experience.” These are all reasonable answers, but if we want something
pn pn p n pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



quantifiable we would use something like “the ability to act successfully across a wid
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



e range of objectives in complex environments.”
pn pn pn pn pn pn



b. We define artificial intelligence as the study and construction of agent programs tha
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



t perform well in a given class of environments, for a given agent architecture; they d
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



o the right thing. An important part of that is dealing with the uncertainty of what th
pn pn pn p n pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



e current state is, what the outcome of possible actions might be, and what is it that
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



we really desire. pn pn



c. We define an agent as an entity that takes action in response to percepts from an envi-
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



ronment.

d. We define rationality as the property of a system which does the “right thing” given
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn p



what it knows. See Section 2.2 for a more complete discussion. The basic concept i

s perfect rationality; Section ?? describes the impossibility of achieving perfect rational

- ity and proposes an alternative definition.

e. We define logical reasoning as the a process of deriving new sentences from old, such
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



that the new sentences are necessarily true if the old ones are true. (Notice that does not r

efer to any specific syntax or formal language, but it does require a well-

defined notion of truth.) pn pn pn

Read Turing’s original paper on AI (Turing, 1950). In the paper, he discusses several obj
