ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

          Artificial intelligence (AI) is a relatively young branch of science that stirs the imagination of many. Even movie directors from hollywood are not exceptions. Development in AI area is very fast and there is no indication that this will change soon. I still remember my first contact with learning devices. This happend at the end of the last millennium when I realized neural networks (NN). They have immediately attracted my attention, because such devices were not known till then.           NN are made along the lines of mammalian brain. During the learning NN extract the essence from the data. After the learning we can ask NN questions. It gives us the right answers even to questions that during learning did not participate.  NN learns autonomously and therefore may exceed the teacher's (poeple's) knowledge. Here are some important achievements of artificial intelligence: A couple of years ago the computer Deep Blue became the world champion of chess

Umetna inteligenca (UI) je razmeroma mlada veja znanosti, ki mnogim buri domišljijo. Tudi Hollywoodski režiserji niso izjema, saj skorajda ni več znanstveno-fantastičnega filma brez pametnih naprav. Razvoj na  področju UI je zelo hiter in nič ne kaže, da se bo to kmalu spremenilo.  Dobro se še spominjam svojega prvega srečanja z napravami, ki imajo sposobnost učenja. Bilo je to konec minulega tisočletja, ko sem se seznanil z nevronskimi mrežami (NM) V hipu so pritegnile mojo pozornost navkljub dejstvu, da inteligentne naprave takrat še niso bile splošno znane in so le redki verjeli v njihovo svetlo prihodnost. NM  so narejene po vzoru možganov kakršne imamo ljudje in živali. Med samostojnim učenjem so sposobne iz kopice učnih podatkov izluščiti bistvo, zato  lahko uspešno odgovarjajo tudi na vprašanja, ki jih med učenjem niso srečale. Lahko presežejo znanje svojega  učitelja ali tudi celotnega  človeštva.  Omenimo nekatere pomembne dosežke s področja umetne inteligence: Leta 1997
