Abstract

There are over 100 computer science curricula in universities in the United States. Practically, every one of them includes a course entitled artificial intelligence. In fact, it appears that more people study programming techniques developed for artificial intelligence research than the study techniques for business-data processing. The educational programs are matched by comparable research activity. Programming techniques originally developed for artificial intelligence research have become widespread in computer programming. Psychology has undeniably been influenced by the concepts of artificial intelligence in a number of fields. In chemistry, artificial intelligence techniques have been applied in the analysis of data from mass spectroscopes and in planning the synthesis of organic molecules. There appears to be a meaningful body of knowledge whose unifying principles are difficult to identify. The problem seems to lie in the definition of intelligence. This chapter provides an overview of the various fields of artificial intelligence.
