Course Description

The goal of this course is to understand important problems, challenges, concepts and techniques from the field of Artificial Intelligence. In order to achieve this, students learn how to analyse, design, and program intelligent agents of varying complexities. These agents gather information from their environment, convert it into a suitable internal representation (which may be augmented with information provided by the designer), analyse their internal knowledge to determine suitable actions, and finally execute some actions.
 

After successful completion of the course, students should

1. Know classical examples of artificial intelligence
2. Know characteristics of programs that can be considered "intelligent"
3. Understand the use of heuristics in search problems and games
4. Know a variety of ways to represent and retrieve knowledge and information
5. Know the fundamentals of artificial intelligence programming techniques in a modern programming language
6. Consider ideas and issues associated with social technical, and ethical uses of machines that involve artificial intelligence
