AI Milestones

In 1943, Water Pitts and Warren McCulloch proved neurons can do logical operations (like and, or, not) when they are connected as a network. Minsky developed in 1951 the first neuronal network which solved the problem from the real world. For the very first time, the term artificial intelligence was used at Dartmouth College conference in 1956.

Frank created neuronal networks that transmit information in one direction (perceptrons) in 1958. Minsky supported the symbolic representation of problems in 1969. The interest in AI dropped between 1974-80. In 1986, Georey Hinton developed back propagation algorithm. It is widely used in deep learning nowadays. Between 1987-93, there was a phase called AI winter.

In 1997, IBM Deep Blue defeated Garry Kasparov, Russian grandmaster. In 2013, Google used British technology to perform efficient research on photos. DeepMind (Google), AlphaGo which defeated Lee Sedol, the Go Champion, happened in 2016.

AI deals with intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programmes. Here the computer processes the information and produces an output in a manner similar to the cognitive process of human beings — learning, decision making and problem saving.

AI creates intelligent machines. AI uses multiple technologies to sense, act and understand from past experience.

AI makes computer programmes skillful for solving problems and learning similar to brains of human beings. It includes Natural Language Processing (NCP), pattern recognition, interpretation, visual checking and decision making.

The multiple technologies in AI are Machine Learning (ML), Expert Systems, Language Processing, Knowledge Representation, Computer Vision and Audio Processing.
