What is Artificial Intelligence?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is concerned with building machines that can act, react and adapt themselves in response to a variety of situation and display behavior at least comparable to normal Human Intelligence
History & Origin of AI
The history of AI is as old as human history. Primitive man invented games like chess as today we play computer games. The idea of creating an intelligence being was proposed and discussed in various ways by writers and philosophers centuries before the computer was invented. The Roman poet Ovid wrote a story of a beautiful woman brought to life, later forming the fable “MY FAIR LADY”.
In the industrial ages, Mary Shelley and Dr. Frankenstein manufactured a man from separate components and brought him to life through electricity. By the 1960’s, fiction was beginning to mirror the goals of the most ambitious AI researchers. The films like Blade Runner Terminator, AI and many others showing gadgets and robots present a vision of cyborg machines almost indistinguishable from humans.
It was easy to develop animal-like intelligence but to embed human intelligence became difficult for the scientists.
Future & Scope of AI The researches in AI have resulted in various Industrial and Commercial sys. The following successes are a verdict to the immense contributions in the past & present and also promise a bright future for humans and AI environments in the future:
a. Economic Monitoring system
b. Satellite Tracking system
c. Space Navigation system
d. Aircraft Monitoring system
e. Mil Expert systems
f. Vehicle Navigation sys
g. Speech Synthesis & Recognition sys
h. Immortal Robot sys
i. Non-Volatile Memory sys
The future environments of AI are meant to make a man’s life easier. They promise to make the world a better place for humans in future
