How Artificial Intelligence can make Competition more Intelligent

How Can Personality Factors Contribute to Make Agents More ‘Believable’?

Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Systems

The original vision of AI was to develop intelligent artifacts with the same broad range of capabilities as we observe in humans. None of the field’s early programs achieved this lofty goal, but the tone of many seminal papers makes this motivation very clear. When we entered graduate school at Carnegie Mellon University in the mid 1970s, this aim was a central tenet of many researchers in the ...

Intelligent Assistance without Artificial Intelligence

SMILE is a multi-user software engineering environment that behaves as an intelligent assistant. SMILE presents a ‘fileless environment’, derives and transforms data to shelter users from entering redundant information, automatically invokes programming tools, and actively participates in the software development and maintenance process. Unlike other intelligent assistants, SMILE is not a rule-...

Why Has Artificial Intelligence Failed? and How Can it Succeed?

In the 1960s, pioneers in artificial intelligence made grand claims that AI systems would surpass human intelligence before the end of the 20th century. Except for beating the world chess champion in 1997, none of the other predictions have come true. But AI research has contributed a huge amount of valuable technology, which has proved to be successful on narrow, specialized problems. Unfortun...

AIBIRDS: The Angry Birds Artificial Intelligence Competition

The Angry Birds AI Competition (aibirds.org) has been held in conjunction with the AI 2012, IJCAI 2013 and ECAI 2014 conferences and will be held again at the IJCAI 2015 conference. The declared goal of the competition is to build an AI agent that can play Angry Birds as good or better than the best human players. In this paper we describe why this is a very difficult problem, why it is a chall...
