Classical AI

Artificial intelligence began with a focus on logic. She followed rules, stacked up facts, and reasoned step by step. These lessons show how she worked when intelligence meant structure and order.

• Rule-based AI – Early AI using explicit IF–THEN rules.
• Expert systems – Rule-based systems encoding expert knowledge and reasoning.
• Search algorithms – Exploring possible states to find solutions.
• Pathfinding algorithms – Algorithms for finding efficient routes through space.
• Game AI with minimax – Decision-making in games using minimax search.
