Artificial intelligence may have begun as mere fiction in books like "Frankenstein" and "Robots," but it is now very real. As technology advances, we see more and more uses for AI.

Artificial Intelligence will be the trendiest and most in-demand field in 2021; most programmers want to work in AI, data science, and data analytics. AI is the study of simulating human intelligence operations on computer systems. The collection of information, its use, and the approximation of conclusions are all examples of these processes. Problem-solving, logic, planning, language processing, programming, and deep learning are all study areas in AI. A profession in artificial intelligence is defined by robotics, automation, and complex computer software and systems.

Artificial intelligence thrives with data. The more data you have, the better your algorithms will be. However, just having a lot of data is not sufficient anymore. "We don't have better algorithms, we just have more data. More data beats clever algorithm, but better data beats more data."

Search is a key part of many AI problem-solving strategies that assist in exploring the problem spaces. As explained by Peter Norvig "Normal programming is telling the computer what to do when we know what to do. AI is when we tell the computer what to do when we don't know what to do." Search in AI provides as a first step to start solving many of the problems, either it is finding a sequence of next steps to perform by an agent or deciding on the next game move. Many search strategies are used in AI for efficient and goal-oriented searches. Let's have a look at a few popular AI search strategies: Breadth-First Search (BFS) is the most basic searches and it finds the shortest path with respect to a number of steps between the start and goal. Simple BFS does not consider any edge costs or weights.

This is a quick transcript of the interview of Peter Norvig by Lex Fridman. I find this interview so interesting and revealing, that I decided to take on the task of making a transcript of the interview published in YouTube. Lex Friedman: The following is a conversation with Peter Norvig. A Modern Approach", and educated and inspired a whole generation of researchers, including myself, to get into the field of Artificial Intelligence. This is the Artificial Intelligence podcast. Lex Fridman: Most researchers in the AI community, including myself, own all three editions, red green and blue, of the "Artificial intelligence, a modern approach", the field defining textbook. As many people are aware that you wrote with Stuart Russell, how is the book changed, and how have you changed in relation to it from the first edition to the second, to the third, and now fourth edition as you work on it? Peter Norvig: Yeah so it's been a lot of years, a lot of changes. One of the things changing from the first, to maybe the second, or third, was just the rise of computing power, right? So, I think in the First Edition we said: "here's predicate logic but that only goes so far because pretty soon you have millions of short little medical expressions and they can possibly fit in memory, so we're gonna use first-order logic that's more concise." And then we quickly realized: "Oh, predicate logic is pretty nice because there are really fast Sat solvers, and other things, and look there's only millions of expressions and that fits easily into memory, or maybe even billions fit into memory now.

Here is a video lecture by Google's Director of Research - Peter Norvig. The full title of this lecture is "Theorizing from Data: Avoiding the Capital Mistake". In 1891 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle said that "it is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data." These words still remain true today. In this talk Peter gives insight into what large amounts of data can do for problems in language understanding, translation and information extraction.

Recently, I came across a wonderful article by Peter Norvig -- "Teach yourself programming in 10 years". This is a witty and a tad bit satirical headline, taking a dig at all those coffee table programming books that aim to teach you programming in 24 hours, 7 days, 10, days, *insert a ridiculously short time line*. Dr. Norvig makes quite a strong case. Yes, you may come to grips with the syntax, nature, and style of a programming language in 24 hours, but that doesn't mean you've become adept at the art of programming. Programming is about intelligent design, a rigorous analysis of time and space complexity, understanding when a certain language works over another, and so much more.
