LEARNING OUTCOMES
The goal of Artificial intelligence (AI) is the creation of more intelligent computer programs, to be used as is, or as parts of intelligent autonomous systems, or in automating society's increasingly complex infrastructure. An intelligent system must obtain data, understand it, reason about it, and make decisions based on it, and the complexity of this process requires tools that are quite different from conventional software technologies.
This course covers some of the core areas of AI that are needed in creating intelligent systems, including automated reasoning, automated decision-making, problem solving, and game playing.
After completing the course, you will be capable of choosing the right technologies for solving many types of hard problems requiring intelligence, have an understanding of how to implement them, and understand better the basis of AI and its relation to other information technologies.
