History and application of artificial intelligence
History of Artificial intelligence
Here is the history of AI during 20th century
Year Milestone / Innovation
1923 Karel Čapek play named “Rossum's Universal Robots” (RUR) opens in London, first use of the word "robot🤖" in English.
1943 Foundations for neural networks laid.
1945 Isaac Asimov,😎 a Columbia University alumni, coined the term Robotics.
1950 Alan Turing introduced Turing Test for evaluation of intelligence and published Computing Machinery and Intelligence. Claude Shannon published Detailed Analysis of Chess Playing as a search.
1956 John McCarthy coined the term Artificial Intelligence. Demonstration of the first running AI program at Carnegie Mellon University.
1958 John McCarthy invents LISP programming language for AI.
1964 Danny Bobrow's dissertation at MIT showed that computers can understand natural language well enough to solve algebra word problems correctly.
1965 Joseph Weizenbaum at MIT built ELIZA, an interactive problem that carries on a dialogue in English.
1969 Scientists at Stanford Research Institute Developed Shakey, a robot, equipped with locomotion, perception, and problem solving.
1973 The Assembly Robotics group at Edinburgh University built Freddy, the Famous Scottish Robot🤖, capable of using vision to locate and assemble models.
1979 The first computer💻-controlled autonomous vehicle🚙, Stanford Cart, was built.
1985 Harold Cohen created and demonstrated the drawing program, Aaron.
1990 Major advances in all areas of AI −
Significant demonstrations in machine learning
Case-based reasoning
Multi-agent planning
Scheduling

Games🎮
1997 The Deep Blue Chess Program beats the then world chess champion, Garry Kasparov.
2000 Interactive robot pets become commercially available. MIT displays Kismet, a robot with a face that expresses emotions. The robot Nomad explores remote regions of Antarctica and locates meteorites.
Applications of Artificial intelligence
AI has been dominant in various fields such as
Gaming 🎮− AI plays crucial role in strategic games such as chess, poker, tic-tac-toe, etc., where machine can think of large number of possible positions based on heuristic knowledge.
Natural Language Processing − It is possible to interact with the computer that understands natural language spoken by humans👨
Expert Systems − There are some applications which integrate machine, software, and special information to impart reasoning and advising. They provide explanation and advice to the users.
Vision Systems − These systems understand, interpret, and comprehend visual input on the computer. For example,
A spying aeroplane ✈️takes photographs, which are used to figure out spatial information or map of the areas.🗺️
Doctors use clinical expert system to diagnose the patient.
Police 🚓use computer software that can recognize the face of criminal with the stored portrait made by forensic artist.
Speech Recognition − Some intelligent systems are capable of hearing and comprehending the language in terms of sentences and their meanings while a human talks to it. It can handle different accents, slang words, noise in the background, change in human’s noise due to cold, etc.
Handwriting Recognition − The handwriting recognition software reads the text written on paper by a pen or on screen by a stylus. It can recognize the shapes of the letters and convert it into editable text.
Intelligent Robots🤖 − Robots are able to perform the tasks given by a human. They have sensors to detect physical data from the real world such as light, heat, temperature, movement, sound, bump, and pressure. They have efficient processors, multiple sensors and huge memory, to exhibit intelligence. In addition, they are capable of learning from their mistakes and they can adapt to the new environment.
