- Course Content
This course teaches the historical roots and development of AI through a number of
historically significant developments and people in AI. This is done on the basis of a number
of papers that the students study under supervision. AI is a field that historically appeals to
the imagination and therefore has strong cycles of hype and distrust, and also cycles in
which one approach (e.g. neural networks) prevails and then another (e.g. statistical
techniques). To put contemporary developments into perspective, it is important that
students know the history of the field.
