Relationship between man and machine
Smirnov, Artem ; Sigmund, Tomáš (advisor) ; Toman, Prokop (referee)
The area of interest of this thesis is the relationship between man and machine. The subject of the work is the clear explanation of the unique features of human intelligence and especially of specific characteristics of the mind, the inability of machines to think in a full sense of the word, the causes of mistaken assumptions of artificial intelligence and general principles of connection between humans and computers. The purpose and goal is to show that the future possibility of computers to prevail over people and completely replace the human role in the information system is not so likely as it may seem at the first sight. The thesis describes the general principles of human-computer connection with regard to their capabilities and limitations. Also thesis contains an analysis of selected application for assessing the appropriateness of the allocation of functions between the program and the man in the opinion of the author.

Human and artificial intelligence in IS
Esterka, Jakub ; Sigmund, Tomáš (advisor) ; Toman, Prokop (referee)
This thesis is focused on intelligence in information systems. The goal is to offer readers a comprehensive view on both human and artificial intelligence and explain their role in enterprise information systems. The first chapter deals with human intelligence. The reader is made familiar with the development of theory of intelligence, with its limitations, and also with this work's definition of intelligence. That is also used in the second chapter, which details the artificial intelligence. In the next chapter, work will focus on enterprise information systems. In the final chapter, the thesis puts human and artificial intelligence in the context of information systems and both forms of intelligence are compared using pre-selected factors.

Machine mimicking of human with chatterbot example
Sedloň, Kryštof ; Sigmund, Tomáš (advisor) ; Toman, Prokop (referee)
This thesis deals with the ability of machines to imitate human behavior. The subject of the work is to compare human and machine information processing and define its relationship with data and knowledge. Put into contrast human and artificial intelligence with views of Turing, Dreyfus and Searle. Compare internet chatterbots representing modern artificial intelligence and illustrate the possibilities and shortcomings of contemporary artificial intelligence.

Natural or Artificial Intelligence?
Havlík, Vladimír
The distinction between natural and artificial is the basic question which fundamentally affects other considerations and conclusions connected with artificial intelligence. The article deals with few examples of natural-artificial distinction in the philosophy of science and then discuss what results from it for the problem of intelligence. On the basis of Dennett’s conception of intentionality it tries to show that besides the traditional conception there is another perspective in which the natural-artificial distinction disappears.

Imitation of human behavior by computer systems
Kovaľ, Jakub ; Sigmund, Tomáš (advisor) ; Pavlíček, Antonín (referee)
This thesis deals with concept of artificial intelligence, mainly with attempts to imitate behavior of human beings. It uses theoretical findings of experts at this area. It lays out theories of A. Turing, his imitation game, concept of learning machine and implications of Turing Test. It examines critique of imitation game by J. R. Searle and his mindtest chinese room together with term intentionality and understanding, necessary for real conscious manifestations of intelligence. Limits of artificial reason by H. Dreyfus are also mentioned. Thesis analyzes chosen current systems which try to mimic human behavior. I puts into correlation their function and theories of individual philosophers. It doesn't restrict itself on strict evaluation of systems as whole, but also explore their parts and methods they use to solve given tasks. Thesis closes with summary of requirements accomplishment by individual programs according to listed theories, their meaning in context of artificial intelligence and hints a path development in this area is going to take.

Japanese robotics: trends and perspectives
Kóšová, Jana ; Stuchlíková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Vlčková, Jana (referee)
This thesis focuses on Japanese robotics, its current trends and perspectives. The first part consists of definition of crucial terms. In the end of the first part, the thesis outlines brief history of Japanese robotics. Second part focuses on current trends in Japanese robotics. Main focus is on humanoid robots and automotive sector. The final part describes perspectives of Japanese robotics. As main areas of perspectives were chosen medicine and development of artificial intelligence.

Meaning of cognitive processes for creating artificial intelligence
Pangrác, Vojtěch ; Pstružina, Karel (advisor) ; Burian, Jan (referee)
This work is aimed at creating a single view in the field of cognitive processes. Namely it is analysis of providing importance of cognitive processes for the entire field of artificial intelligence. The whole area of cognitive processes is described through the analysis of biological cognitive processes and their subsequent comparison with the processes of artificial intelligence and also the overall analysis of their limitations and their use. The work also contains a brief overview of the architecture of artificial intelligence and philosophical essay focused on the relationship of mind and body. In the end we present a project from IBM workshop, which is very important for their ability to work with natural language and understanding the content of questions asked.

Natural and Artificial Intelligence
Šaněk, Petr ; Sigmund, Tomáš (advisor) ; Brixí, Radim (referee)
This work deals with the field of artificial intelligence and the interconnected question of the possibility to make thinking machines. The natural and human intelligence evolution summary outlines the starting points of the field. To give the clearer picture of the problem, I also describe the development of artificial intelligence branch and the development of computers. My work combines informatics and philosophical approaches. In the scope of the first one, I summarize different approaches to AI, with emphasis on sub-symbolic methods which are used afterwards to explain the concept of intelligence development. In the scope of the philosophical approach, the text deals with different philosophical points of view on making intelligent machines, which comment phenomena like consciousness, subjective experience or the body-mind problem. I contradict the use of intuition to solve the thought experiments dealing with mind and I argue for the possibility to make intelligent machines. The futurology visions are the last starting point for stating my opinion on the future development of IA and human ability to make the thinking machine.

Image Recognition, Static Hand Gesture Recognition Software
KAPOUN, Jan
This thesis deals with recognition of static hand gestures in a real-time video feed. It is an accompanying paper to the application that I created. Within the framework of this thesis, you will find necessary algorithms for background segmentation and image recognition that were implemented in the application. This thesis also describes problems that I came across when writing the software and also some dead-ends I found when trying to choose the best algorithms. The application source code along with images and a video presentation can be downloaded here: http://jankapoun.own.cz/soft_AI.php
