... called expert systems have received a great deal of attention. . An expert system is a computer program that contains stored knowledge and solves problems in a specific field in much the same way that a human expert would. The knowledge typically comes from a series of conversations between the developer of the expert system and one or more experts. The ... completed system applies the knowledge to problems specified by a user. An expert system stores the knowledge of one or more human experts in a particular field, which is called a domain. The experts are called domain experts. A user...

... (AI) is the branch of computer science concerned with programming computers to exhibit intelligent behavior (oxford dictionary). In an age where the threat of warfare is not out of the question it is not surprising that a lot of advances have been made in the field of military AI. With this ... increased demand for more intelligent, more dependable programs, algorithms, and expert systems to run these robots, it is obvious that the field of robotic studies is very important. Work on AI began in the 1950's with researchers wanting to use a computer to model the ... way a human thinks. Th...

... would be a giant technological step. If it is ever achieved, everyday activities such as vacuuming, or laundry, would become automated. The leader in the field of AI is actually not a business, but MIT's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. It does more ground breaking research in the all fields of AI, including ... and fields that fall under AI. The first technique that is used to create intelligent systems is the top-down approach. That is when the computer is given a written set of directions such as "IF that is red, THEN go forward" and it will go from there according to the ... fiel...

... have been doing research to use calcium and natural textures instead of plastic and metal. The second area of interest of robotics in cybernetics is intelligence and control systems. This field requires knowledge of artificial intelligence research, programming and database query languages and development of new algorithms. Research has been pushing the limits of dual information system (Boolean algebra) ... ;. Since an artificial intelligence as flexible and capable as the human brain is impossible with silicon technology, some scientists have been working on molecular and biological ...

... our urban lives (and will continue to pervade our environment, even as part of our clothes, and our very bodies.) So yeah ethics should be important for computer specialists, students and teachers. Another field that has dropped its interest in the ethical questions arising from its practice, ie, the mass media, has reached untold lows in its complete disregard for any responsible ... behavior towards its end users. We don't want to see this happen in the field of computer science and its applications. At worst, these ethical discussions can't hurt. Now regarding the question of downloa...
