Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Part 1

Evolution of AI:

We all would have heard about Turing test. Right? In 1950, Alan Turing a British mathematician wrote an answer to the fundamental question ‘Can Machines Think?’ As per Turing, machines had a memory store, a set of instructions and a means to carry out instructions on the input data.

For understanding how machines think he proposed the “Turing Test” which is the first step in the evolution and understanding of AI.

Turing Test is a method of inquiry for determining whether a computer is capable of thinking like a human being or not. It compares the performance of a computer program with that of a human being in a live interaction situation.

In the above test if a machine can engage in a conversation with a human without being detected as a machine, it demonstrates that machine has human intelligence.

What is Artificial Intelligence then?

Artificial Intelligence is defined as the development of computer systems that are capable of performing tasks that require human intelligence, such as decision making, solving complex problems, object detection etc.,

The term AI was first coined by John McCarthy in 1956. He defined AI as the science and engineering of making intelligent machines.

Types of Artificial Intelligence:

AI can be divided into two types based on Ability and based on Functionality.

Detailed explanation of each and every types of Artificial Intelligence are given in the next post. Kindly go through the further posts.

Fact of the day:

In 1997, Deep Blue made history as the first computer to beat a world chess champion Garry Kasparov in a six-game match under standard time controls. Deep Blue was a chess playing computer developed by IBM.
