Overview

The goal of this course is to learn the basic concepts of Artificial Intelligence. There will be very little programming involved in this course. By the end of the course, students should know the benefits and drawbacks of using different types AI algorithms, as well as identifying which algorithms would be best suited to solve different problems. This course will cover the following topics: the different types of AI, defining the task environment, the types of search problems, using an AI to solve problems by searching, constraint satisfaction problems, a quick overview of neural networks, and how AI is used in the real world. This course will also briefly cover the history of Artificial Intelligence.
