This document provides a quick guide to artificial intelligence (AI). It defines AI as the attempt to remove boundaries between humans and machines. Examples of weak AI include chess-playing programs, while strong AI examples are IBM's Watson and Google's DeepMind. Machine learning allows machines to learn without explicit programming. Deep learning works similarly to how human brains work. AI systems are fed using big data. Key aspects of intelligence are recognition of patterns, prognosis, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. The future outlook discusses potential human-level and super-intelligent AI, as well as predictions that AI may outperform humans by 2048. Risks of advanced AI are also discussed.
8. Machine Learning
Machine learning is a type of AI that provides
machines with the ability to learn without being
explicitly programmed - the ultimate goal is to
develop its own dynamics.

12. What defines an
intelligent system?
1. Recognition of patterns:
Objects in camera recordings/images, facial
recognition, language.
2. Prognosis:
Anticipation and prediction that often turn in
recommendations.
13. Intelligence (simplified)
General Intelligence - learning that enables the learner to
be able to perform better in situations not previously
encountered
Reasoning - to draw conclusions based on the situation at
hand.
Problem Solving - find X, if given a certain starting point or
challenge.
Perception - analysing a scanned environment, features
and relationships between objects.
Language Understanding - by following syntax and similar
rules used by humans
37. Steve Hawking
If a superior alien civilisation would send us a
message:
“We will arrive in a few decades”
Would our reaction be:
“OK - let us know, we will leave the lights on”
This is how we treat AI
“TO IGNORE OR UNDERESTIMATE THE RISKS OF AI - WOULD BE THE BIGGEST
MISTAKE IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND”
38. Scenario: A Centralised
Cybernetic World Society
1. Gather as much data about everyone
2. Secure that data is captured randomly everywhere
3. Control people:
• through manipulation of their decisions
• through punishment mechanism
• through rewarding mechanism

someone else makes the world a
better place than we do”
