About the Course

Artificial Intelligence (AI) studies how computers can accomplish tasks that were traditionally thought to require human intelligence. This course gives an introduction to the subject and has two main purposes.

The first purpose is to give an understanding of which sub-areas there are within AI, their historical development and which ethical issues that can arise within different sub-areas. This is done by reading literature within different AI areas, by summarising and discussing the literature in writing, and by reviewing essays by other students.

The second purpose is to teach basic concepts and algorithms for heuristic search, planning and problem solving, including their usage, and how they can be used to solve interesting AI problems. The following algorithms and concepts are included:

general search problems – weighted and unweighted graphs, graph search, tree search, search trees
different classes of search and planning problems – complete and incomplete information, deterministic and nondeterministic problems
standard algorithms for deterministic search and planning with perfect information – uninformed search, informed search, local search
search with incomplete information, nondeterministic problems, and problems with multiple agents
constraint satisfaction problems (CSP)
heuristics for informed search and for CSP
