1.Think like Humans

"The exciting new effort to make

computers think ... machines with

minds, in the full and literal sense."

(Haugeland, 1985)

"[The automation of] activities that we

associate with human thinking, activities

such as decision-making, problem

solving, learning ..." (Bellman, 1978)

2.Act like Humans

"The study of how to make computers

do things at which, at the moment,

people are better." (Rich and Knight,

1991)

"The art of creating machines that per-

perform functions that require

intelligence when performed by

people." (Kurzweil, 1990)

3.Think Rationally

"The study of mental faculties through

the use of computational models."

(Charniak and McDermott, 1985)

"The study of the computations that

make it possible to perceive, reason,

and act.“ (Winston, 1992)

4.ACT Rationally

"Computational Intelligence is the
