Artificial intelligence is a moving frontier in the sense that it is defined by some people as consisting of "whatever hasn't been done yet".
2.What are the disadvantages of the approach to AI that attempts to simulate human intelligence? What is the alternative?
There are many disadvantages to the simulation approach:
1-Human intelligence includes instantaneous insights, and other mental processes that are difficult or impossible to understand or describe
2-There are vast difference between the structure and capabilities of the human brain and those of computers. Such as the brains ability to parallel processing
3-The best way to do something with a machine might be very different from the way people would do it.
The alternative approach would be to design intelligent machines independent of the way people think.
4. Why did early machine translation programs fail to produce the desired result?
The translation programs were able to translate words but their translation would not have the same meaning as that which was intended. The programs could not understand the meaning of the sentences, they could only recognize the words.
7. What is a knowledge base?What is an expert system?How are the two related?
A knowledge base is a database that contains facts, a system of rules for determining and changing the relationship among facts. An expert system is a software designed to replicate the decision making process of a human expert. The relationship between the two is that at the foundation of every expert system there is a knowledge base representing ideas from a specific field of expertise.
9. What are some problems that make machine vision so challenging?
