History of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence is not a new word and not a new technology for researchers. This technology is much older than you would imagine. Even there are the myths of Mechanical men in Ancient Greek and Egyptian Myths. Following are some milestones in the history of AI which defines the journey from the AI generation to till date development

History of Artificial IntelligenceMaturation of Artificial Intelligence (1943-1952)


Between 1943 and 1952, there was notable progress in the expansion of artificial intelligence (AI). Throughout this period, AI transitioned from a mere concept to tangible experiments and practical applications. Here are some key events that happened during this period:

  • Year 1943: The first work which is now recognized as AI was done by Warren McCulloch and Walter pits in 1943. They proposed a model of artificial neurons.
  • Year 1949: Donald Hebb demonstrated an updating rule for modifying the connection strength between neurons. His rule is now called Hebbian learning.
  • Year 1950: The Alan Turing who was an English mathematician and pioneered Machine learning in 1950. Alan Turing publishes "Computing Machinery and Intelligence" in which he proposed a test. The test can check the machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to human intelligence, called a Turing test.
  • Year 1951: Marvin Minsky and Dean Edmonds created the initial artificial neural network (ANN) named SNARC. They utilized 3,000 vacuum tubes to mimic a network of 40 neurons.

The birth of Artificial Intelligence (1952-1956)

From 1952 to 1956, AI surfaced as a unique domain of investigation. During this period, pioneers and forward-thinkers commenced the groundwork for what would ultimately transform into a revolutionary technological domain. Here are notable occurrences from this era:

  • Year 1952: Arthur Samuel pioneered the creation of the Samuel Checkers-Playing Program, which marked the world's first self-learning program for playing games.
  • Year 1955: An Allen Newell and Herbert A. Simon created the "first artificial intelligence program"Which was named as "Logic Theorist". This program had proved 38 of 52 Mathematics theorems, and find new and more elegant proofs for some theorems.
  • Year 1956: The word "Artificial Intelligence" first adopted by American Computer scientist John McCarthy at the Dartmouth Conference. For the first time, AI coined as an academic field.

At that time high-level computer languages such as FORTRAN, LISP, or COBOL were invented. And the enthusiasm for AI was very high at that time.

WHAT IS AI?

What is AI? ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE       Artificial intelligence (AI) is technology that enables computers and machines to simulate human learning, comprehension, problem solving, decision making, creativity and autonomy. Applications and devices equipped with AI can see and identify objects. They can understand and respond to human language. They can learn from new information and experience. They can make detailed recommendations to users and experts. They can act independently, replacing the need for human intelligence or intervention (a classic example being a self-driving car). But in 2024, most AI researchers and practitioners—and most AI-related headlines—are focused on breakthroughs in generative AI(gen AI), a technology that can create original text, images, video and other content. To fully understand  important to first understand the technologies on which generative AI tools are built: (machine learning ML) and deep learning What...

DISADVANTAGES OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

                           Disadvantages of Artificial Intelligence While artificial intelligence offers numerous benefits, it also presents some disadvantages. Here are few cons of Artificial Intelligence: 1. Creativity Artificial Intelligence (AI) often lacks the intrinsic creativity of humans, which stems from emotional depth, abstract thinking, and imaginative processes. While AI can mimic creativity by generating art, music, or writing based on existing patterns, it doesn't possess genuine originality or the ability to think outside the box. AI's creative outputs essentially recombine pre-existing data, limiting its capacity for true innovation. This reliance on patterns and data constrains AI, making it challenging to match human creativity's nuanced and unpredictable nature, which thrives on intuition and emotional intelligence. 2. Emotional Intelligence The next disadvantage of AI is that it lacks of emot...
