History of Artificial Intelligence.
Even though Founders of AI John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Allen Newell, and Herbert Simon failed to recognize the difficulty of some of the problems they faced, they were still extremely optimistic regarding the future of this new field. Artificial Intelligence is the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science that aims to create it. Artificial Intelligence textbooks define the field as "the study and design of intelligent agents.’ This field was founded on the claim that a central property of humans intelligence-the sapience of homosapiens- can be so precisely described that it can be simulated by a machine.
Artificial Intelligence has evolved dramatically from its early roots, which were driven by numerous dedicated researchers. The early evolution of Artificial Intelligence dates way back before the time of electronics, to philosophers and mathematicians such as George Boole and others who had theorized on principles that were used as the foundations and building blocks of all Artificial Intelligence logic. There is even evidence which suggests that that thinking machines and artificial beings appeared in Greek myths, such as Talos of Crete, the bronze robot of Hephaestus, and Pygmalion’s Galatea.
In 1941 an invention revolutionized every aspect of the storage and processing of information. This ingenious machine was the electronic computer and it was developed in both the US and Germany. Many believed that the technology was finally available to simulate intelligent behavior. Over the next four decades, and countless obstacles, Artificial Intelligence was able to expand from a few dozen researchers to thousands of engineers and specialists; and from simple programs that were able to play a game of checkers to astonishing systems that
