This article provides a tutorial introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI) research for those involved in Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI). The general theme espoused is that much of the current work in AI, particularly in the areas of natural language understanding systems, rule induction, programming languages, and socratic systems, has important applications to CAI. It is hoped that this tutorial will stimulate or catalyze more intensive interaction between AI and CAI.
