A.I. • Definition: (noun) the capacity of a computer to perform operations analogous, to learning and decision making in humans as by an expert system, a program for CAD or CAM, or a program for the perception and recognition of shapes in computer vision systems.
History of A.I. • First appeared in Greek Myths • Alan Turning • Theory of computation • Discovered that a machine could solve any math equation Led to the idea of building an electronic brai • 1921 The term ‘robot’ was coined • 1956 Founded at a Research conference in 1956 • Leaders of A.I.: John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Allen Newell, Herbert Simon • 1966 Alicebot • Since then researchers have been striving to develop robots with human-like capabilities…
How have you seen A.I. developed over your life time and do you think A.I. is more a reality or a fantasy right now?

Question • Q: Do we want to create something that is smarter than us? Or do we risk losing control? • “We get delighted when the computer is wrong” • (THROW IN PICTURE. WATSON IBM)
Asimov’s 3 Laws of Robotics • 1942 • 1. A robot may not injure a human being or harm them • 2. A robot must obey humans unless it will cause them harm • 3. A robot must protect its own existence although it must not harm humans & it must obey humans
