BSc Artificial Intelligence

at University of Edinburgh

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the construction of artificial systems that have intelligent behaviour.There are two main motivations for research. One is to understand natural intelligence through the use of computer models. The other provides techniques and technology for building systems capable of intelligent decisions and actions. Thus, AI is both a science and an engineering discipline.Applications of AI range from 'smart' controllers for household devices to computers with the ability to converse in English, play games, conduct intelligent web searches or act as the brain of a robot.
