Artificial Intelligence
The Past, Present, and the Future
Artificial Intelligence
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Artificial Intelligence? Robots? Computers? Future Technology? Most of us think of futuristic humanoid robots and computers that are able to talk to you and respond accordingly. Would you be surprised if I told you the future is here? Artificial Intelligence technology is all around us and we use it in many of our very day activities. Many of times we are unaware it is Artificial Intelligence because it has become so common. Looking back at the beginning of Artificial Intelligence we can see how far the field has come in just a few generations and we can look ahead to the future to see that the things of science fiction are becoming reality.
The History of Artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence can be traced back to Ancient times. Greek mythology has stories of mechanical devices with intelligence. Hephaestus, the god of the smiths, was said to have made mechanical servants. It was not until 1941 when Alan Turning, a British mathematician, designed the first operational electronic computer which brought artificial intelligence within our grasp. The first computers were as large room and required the separation of thousands of wires to get a program up and running. In 1949, computer programing became simpler with the invention of the stored program computer. Because of the electric means of being able to process data made Artificial intelligence possible. The computer delivered the technology to make Artificial Intelligence possible but it was not until the 1950’s that human intelligence and computers was observed. One of the first American’s to make such observations was Norbert Wiener. Wiener is regarded as the originator of cybernetics, a formalization of the notion of feedback, with many implications for engineering, systems control, computer science, biology, philosophy, and the...
