Course objectives:
|
The goal of the course is to familiarise students with the historical view on the origin and development of cybernetics and artificial intelligence, show close links between these two disciplines and development of computer technology, and suggest vast range of possibilities of application of cybernetics and artificial intelligence in many areas of human activities.

Content
|
1. - 2. From mechanisation to automatisation: origins of mechanisation; devices and machines cotrolled by man; first experiments with automatisation. 3. The birth of cybernetics: N. Wiener - "Cybernetics: Or the Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine"; the beginning of the development of computer technology (Turing machine, von Neumann's architecture of a computer). 4. - 7. The advancement of automatisation of complex devices and processes: the development of cybernetics as a scientific field allowing for advanced automatisation; the importance of automatisation for science, technology and industry; the role of computers in automatisation. 8. - 11. Automatisation of tasks which can be performed (so far) only by humans: the birth of artificial intelligence (H. Simon, A. Newell, M. Minsky, W. McCulloch); the history of machine perception and undertsanding; the history and applications of knowledge systems; the development of human-machine communication; the advances in the research of artificial thought; computer as a universal tool in cybernetics. 12. - 13. The relation of cybernetics to other disciplines: the use of cybernetics in biology, psychology, economy, sociology, medicine; systems theory (L. Bertalanffy, R. Kalman, L. Zadeh) and information theory (C. Shannon).
