1. THE FIELD OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE:

AI, for short, is the name given to an old field previously called Cybernetics, which now includes areas such as:

• Heuristic Based Systems
• Knowledge Based Systems
• Expert Systems
• Artificial Neural (or Neuronal) Networks
• Speech Recognition Machine Vision
• Robotics
• Other special applications: computer induction, inference, theorem proving, etc.

5. WHAT HEURISTIC BASED SYSTEMS ARE?:

• They are Computer Program Systems whose internal logic executes the practice observed to solve a certain problem (Heuristic). For short: HBS.

6. WHAT KNOWLEDGE BASED SYSTEMS ARE?:

• They are Computer Program Systems whose behavior depends on codified knowledge that is put into a base (file), which can be modified. For short: KBS.

7. WHAT EXPERT SYSTEMS ARE?:

• They are KBSs whose knowledge base contains the compiled experience of an expert (skilfull) about a defined field of knowledge or application. For short: ES.
