Artificial intelligence is not a new concept in the world. However, the present times are actually witnessing the sweet fruits of decades of work. It is the form of technology that has been successful in turning fantasy into reality. Here we bring to you the top important moments in the history of artificial intelligence that have brought significant breakthroughs. Grab a mug of coffee and see how artificial intelligence has been changing lives since its very inception.
The emergence of the concept (17th century)
It was in the early 17th century when the idea of artificial intelligence took birth. It was Rene Descartes, the popular French philosopher who wrote about the enormous potential of machines in his work Discourse on the Method.
The philosopher successfully differentiated between generative AI and specialized AI.
The time of the Turing Test in the Mid-20th Century
It was in the mid-20th Century when Alan Turing brought forward a Turing Test. This proved to be a measure of machine intelligence. The test was able to challenge if a machine had the ability to exhibit behavior that can be said to be indistinguishable from the behavior of a human. Modern AI systems such as ChatGPT have to some extent passed the variations of the Turing Test.
Neutral Networks
The concept of Neural Networks birthed in the 1950s. The concept was inspired by the insights on neural pathways by Donald Hebb. During this time, scientists began to explore artificial neural networks.
ELIZA
Another significant development of artificial intelligence is ELIZA. It was in the 1960s when ELIZA came as one of the very first artificial intelligence chatbots. ELIZA was capable of engaging with the users in the form of conversations by means of rephrasing the statements of the users as questions.
Voice assistants
Siri was one of the key developments of artificial intelligence. Voice assistants like Siri have revolutionized the way computers interact with human beings with the health of machine learning algorithms. Nobody could think of computers talking sense to humans through voice, but voice assistants made it possible.
ChatGPT revolution
ChatGPT as a generative AI technology is capable of creating human-like responses. The revolution of ChatGPT came in the year 2022 and continues to be changing the everyday functioning of human beings. It has successfully changed the manner in which industries work, and has changed the dynamics of various industries. No wonder there are many more surprises to come in the world of artificial intelligence.
