Foundations of AI
• Philosophy (428 B.C. - Present) - reasoning and
learning
• Mathematics (c. 800 - Present) - logic, probability,
decision making, computation
• Psychology (1879 - Present) - investigating human
mind
• Computer engineering (1940 - Present) - ever
improving tools
• Linguistics (1957 - Present) - the structure and
meaning of language
