Course Contents:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is concerned with algorithms for solving problems, whose solution is generally assumed to require intelligence. While research in the early days was oriented on results about human thinking, the field has since developed towards solutions that try to exploit the strengths of the computer. In the course of this lecture we will give a brief survey over key topics of this core discipline of computer science, with a particular focus on the topics search, planning, learning, and reasoning. Historical and philosophical foundations will also be considered.
