The Model AI Assignments session seeks to gather and disseminate the best assignment designs of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Education community. Recognizing that assignments form the core of student learning experience, we here present abstracts of eight AI assignments that are easily adoptable, playfully engaging, and flexible for a variety of instructor needs. Assignment specifications a...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches to Finite Element Analysis (FEA), have had tentative degrees of success over the last few years and some authors have argued that effective FEA can help in the manufacture reliability and safety aspects of engineered artefacts. The author of this paper reviews how such AI techniques have been applied and in this light, the author then uses a Fuzzy Cogniti...

Artificial intelligence (AI) has made great strides in five decades. Some scientists believe it is merely a matter of time before AI achieves human levels of intelligence. They base their argument on the fact that any human act which can be reduced to algorithms (there are theorists who argue that this includes everything) can be emulated by a computer program. An algorithm is a step by step pr...

This article for the layman answers basic questions about artificial intelligence. The opinions expressed here are not all consensus opinion among researchers in AI.

The original TuringTest is modified in order to take into account the age&gender of a Judge who evaluates the machine and the age&gender of a Human with whom the machine is compared during evaluation. This yields a basic taxonomy of TuringTest-consistent scenarios which is subsequently extended by taking into account the type of intelligence being evaluated. Consistently with the Theory of Mult...

The application of pattern recognition (PR) techniques, artificial neural networks (ANNs), and nowadays hybrid artificial intelligence (AI) techniques in manufacturing can be regarded as consecutive elements of a process started two decades ago. The fundamental aim of the paper is to outline the importance of soft computing and hybrid AI techniques in manufacturing by introducing a genetic algo...
