Artificial Intelligence Program
The Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the attempt to build artificial systems that have intelligent behavior. The students study this program from the engineering perspective at UoB, rather than computer science alone. There are two main directions in this program. One is to enable students to comprehend natural intelligence through the utilization of computer models.
The other enables students to develop methods and innovation to build systems capable of intelligent decisions and engineering actions. In this way, the AI that students learn is both a science and engineering disciplines. Applications of AI range from “smart” controllers for household devices to computers that can converse in natural languages such as English, play computer games, conduct intelligent web searches, or act as the brain of a robot.
The recent major trend is the Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0 for establishing a “smart factory”. It is an integration of Computer Engineering and smart solutions, for the automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies. It includes cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, and cognitive computing.
