Artificial Intelligence Survey

Artificial Intelligence is the study of the design of intelligent agents. The main theoretical goal is to understand the principles underlying intelligent behaviour; the main practical goal is to realize these principles in the design of intelligent artifacts. Artificial Intelligence spans areas such as knowledge representation, natural language understanding, automated reasoning, and machine learning.
