AI types - Brief overview?

[Queatrix]

Could someone please give me a brief overview about how each of these different types of AIs work?

State Machine
Expert System
Fuzzy Logic
Genetic Algorithms
Neural Networks
Thanks, August.

<p>I'd take a good hard look at Genetic Algorithms first (and maybe check out <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant_colony_algorithm">Ant Colony Algorithms</a> - they're rather similar).</p>
<p>Hope that helps! :)</p>

Evolutionary Programming, but it talks about virtually every topic you've mentioned (I found the link when searching for a Holland Classifier System, located in Part4).

I suggest you search wikipedia.com for each of these terms for a brief overview.
