My weakness is I am so impatient to do anything. Be it learning a new thing or accomplishing a certain task. However after reading the history of AI, I was calmed down.
AI was not developed in a day.by Azim Pulat
It is indeed very true. In fact, 1840 was the beginning of the first computer program by Ada Lovelace. 1936 was the beginning of the theory of computation by Alan Turing. There have been thousands of other scientists who developed theories, programs and the necessary AI tools after these two pioneers. They all followed the Turing Test to make the machine mimic the human intelligence. It followed the criteria:
• natural language processing to communicate successfully in a human language;
• knowledge representation to store what it knows or hears;
• automated reasoning to answer questions and to draw new conclusions;
• machine learning to adapt to new circumstances and to detect and extrapolate patterns;
• computer vision and speech recognition to perceive the world; • robotics to manipulate objects and move about.
There has been rejections to the theorems. Arguments. Criticisms. But, the years and years of development and research brought the current AI we see today. There have been thousands of scientists, programmers, mathematicians, and many more fields of people who have contributed their part into this amazing technology we call today as AI.
‘AI is not developed in a day.’ This is so true. I have been so impatient until this time. But, as I read on, I see that I should learn AI/ML with patience and make sure I have answers to all my ‘whys’. It took almost a hundred years for this technology, so it would be fair if you and I appreciate this hard work and keep discovering this mysterious AI with incremental steps.
