Artificial Intelligence 3
Things are not all that simple. People don’t think about problems
in the same manner. Let us give you an extremely simple
problem. Just tell us about your height.
After having seen the images a several times, that sixth person
might get to find something that is making the prints distinct.
Things like one of them has fever lines in the print, the other one
has sharply curved lines, some might have larger distance
between the lines in the print and some might have smaller
displacement between the lines and many such features.
Ex-7: Recognizing 21
Fingerprints (cont)
The point being that after some time, which may be in hours or
days or may be even months, that sixth person will be able to
look at a new fingerprint of one of those five persons and he
might with some degree of accuracy recognize that which one
amongst the five does it belong.
Food for thought: Can only humans beings and animals possess
these qualities?

The discussion so far has a lot of consequences when we see it with
a different perspective. Lets get to something really interesting now
and hence informally define the field of Artificial Intelligence at the
same time.
WHAT IF
A machine searches through a mesh and finds a path?
A machine solves problems like the next number in the sequence?
A machine develops plans?
A machine diagnoses and prescribes?
A machine answers ambiguous questions?
A machine recognizes fingerprints?
A machine understands?
A machine perceives?
A machine does MANY MORE SUCH THINGS …
A machine behaves as HUMANS do? HUMANOID!!!
Intelligent Machines 25
NO!
