How an intelligent machine is able to find solutions to problems and to act rationally?
Answers
Answer:
Acting rationally means acting so as to achieve one's goals, given one's beliefs. An agent is just something that perceives and acts. In the logical approach to AI, the emphasis is on correct inferences. ... There are also ways to act rationally that do not seem to involve inference, e.g., reflex actions.
Answer:
Humankind has given itself the scientific name homo sapiens--man the wise--because our mental capacities are so important to our everyday lives and our sense of self. The field of artificial intelligence, or AI, attempts to understand intelligent entities. Thus, one reason to study it is to learn more about ourselves. But unlike philosophy and psychology, which are also concerned with intelligence, AI strives to build intelligent entities as well as understand them. Another reason to study AI is that these constructed intelligent entities are interesting and useful in their own right. AI has produced many significant and impressive products even at this early stage in its development. Although no one can predict the future in detail, it is clear that computers with human-level intelligence (or better) would have a huge impact on our everyday lives and on the future course of civilization.
