02_what is AI? Flashcards
What is intelligence?
legg and hutter (2007):
Intelligence measures an agent’s ability to achieve goals in a wide range of environments.
- property that agent has as it interacts with its environment/s
- related to the agent’s ability to succeed or profit with respect to some goal or objective
- depends on how able the agent is to adapt in different objectives and environment
What is an intelligent agent and what concepts are related to it?
PEAS Model:
- Performance Measure
- Environment (world or dataset)
- Actuators (interact with E)
- Sensors
Agent has: Sensors that percept the E, and agent function that maps percept sequence to a set of actions.
Agent has a specific task. A performance measure quantifies how well the agent performs
What does PEAS stand for?
PEAS Model:
- Performance Measure
- Environment
- Actuators
- Sensors
What is a rational agent?
A rational Agent should select an action (based on what it perceives)
that is expected to maximize its performance measure
given the evidence provided by the percept sequence
and whatever built-in knowledge the agent has.
AI can be seen as the study of what?
AI can be seen as the study of rational agents.
What are the 5 different models for the implementation of the agent function in the PEAS model?
- simple reflex agents
- model-based reflex agents
- goal-based agents
- utility-based agents
- learning agents
(for the first 4, the agent function is given. with the last, the agent learns it by itself)
What is a simple reflex agent?
with one example
acts directly upon current perceipts (eg thermostat)
What is a model-based reflex agent?
with one example
keeps an internal “model of the world” to memorize the percept sequence (eg robot mapping the route it has taken)
What is a goal-based agent?
with one example
agent has a defined goal and utilizes information to reach that goal (eg search algorithm)
What is a utility-based agent?
with one example
agent can predict performance measure (= utility) into the future and act accordingly to find the best solution (eg chess computer)
What is a learning agent?
with one example
agent learns from examples for different environments (eg deep learning)
programs the agent function by itself
What is a goal of artificial intelligence?
1956 Dartmouth Workshop:
“means to perform a task as good as or better than a human being”
–> then: write a calculator program
How can we distinguish AIs in a philosophical sense?
Weak AI vs Stong AI
What is a Weak AI?
A system that merely simulates intelligence /
acts as if it were intelligent in performing its given task
–> narrow range of what it can do, but does that very well
What is a Strong AI?
A system that truly exhibits intelligence and can learn any intellectual task humans can learn
–> there is no strong AI (yet)
