Main Concepts

• Artificial Intelligence (AI) the study of
  computer systems that attempt to model and apply
  the intelligence of the human mind
• Commonly seen in robotics and video games
• Turing Test a test used to empirically
  determine whether a computer has achieved
  intelligence
• In this test, there are three participants a
  human interrogator, a human respondent, and a
  computer respondent
• The interrogator asks questions of both
  respondents and has to figure out which one is a
  human and which one is a computer

Main Concepts

• Weak equivalence the equality of two systems
  based on their results
• With weak equivalence (weak AI), the computer and
  human are able to produce the same results
• However, the process by which the two get to this
  result is different
• Strong equivalence the equality of two systems
  based on their results and the process by which
  they arrive at those results
• With strong equivalence (strong AI), the computer
  and human are able to produce the same results by
  using the same logical process
• This has not yet been achieved

Project Progress

• Focusing on basic concept research right now
• Also working on planning out the tic-tac-toe
  program
• Looking at working on robotics research soon

Tic-Tac-Toe Program

• Plan A C program in which the user plays a game
  of tic-tac-toe with the computer AI.
• We're hoping to be able to incorporate OpenGL
  graphics libraries to provide a graphical
  interface for the program.
• Input User inputs X's in one of the 9 squares to
  try and win.
• Output The computer AI attempts to defeat the
  user by placing O's in the squares.
