Welcome to AI Topics

a dynamic library of introductory information about
Artificial Intelligence

Computation is the fire in our modern-day caves. By 2056, the computational revolution will be recognised as a transformation as significant as the industrial revolution. The evolution and widespread diffusion of computation and its analytical fruits will have major impacts on socioeconomics, science and culture. - Eric Horvitz forecasts the future: from Brilliant Minds Forecast The Next 50 Years in New Scientist's 50th Anniversary Special Issue (November 18, 2006; Issue 2578)

AI TOPICS is a special web site provided by AAAI, The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (formerly the American Association for Artificial Intelligence), for students, teachers, journalists, and everyone who would like to explore what artificial intelligence is, and what AI scientists do.

Our goal is to offer a limited number of exemplary, non-technical resources that we have organized and annotated to provide you with meaningful access to basic, understandable information about the AI universe. Each of the AI TOPICS (see the SideBar Menu) and SUBTOPICS (see Site Map) will lead you to a variety of online sources of information, and the occasional print resource. To understand what you can (and cannot) expect from this site and to maximize its usefulness, we ask that you please read our About This Site and Springboard pages.

Click on a topic in the sidebar to see articles and videos relevant to that topc. You may browse through just the videos in the video archive section AAAI Video Archive: a gateway to an exciting collection of videos about the many aspects of Artificial Intelligence.
