Evolution of

Artificial Intelligence
 Intelligence
 Artificial
Intelligence
 A Brief History of AI
 Current Trends in AI
 Ability to interact with the world (speech,
vision, motion, manipulation)
 Ability to model the world and to reason
about it
 Ability to learn and to adapt
 Ability to recognize and solve problems
 A.I.
is the study of how to make
computers do things at which, at the
moment, people are better. [Elaine Rich]
 To build systems that exhibit
intelligent behavior
 To understand intelligence in order
to model it
 McCullochand Pitts propose a
model of Artificial Neurons, 1943

 Turing & Shannon Chess programs,


1950s
 SNARC, first ANN computer, Minsky
& Edmonds, 1951
 John McCarthy organizes a two-month
workshop for researchers interested in
neural networks and the study of intelligence
 Agreement to adopt a new name for this
field of study: Artificial Intelligence
 Problem Solving, Theorem Proving
Programs
 Blocks world: Vision, Learning, NLP,
Planning
 AIproblems appear to be too big and
complex
 Computers are very slow, very
expensive, and have very little
memory (compared to today)
 Birth of Expert Systems
 Idea is to give AI systems lots of
information to start with
 Ex: DENDRAL, Mycin, PROSPECTOR
 R1 becomes first successful
commercial Expert System
 Some interesting phone company
systems for diagnosing failures of
telephone service
 Mid-1980s, different research groups
reinvented backpropagation
(originally from 1969)
 Disillusionment on expert systems
 Fear of AI winter
 Increasesin computational power
(computers are cheaper, faster, and
have tons more memory than they
used to)
 In
1997, Deep Blue beat Gary
Kasparov.
 2/96: Kasparov vs. Deep Blue
 Kasparov victorious: 3 wins, 2 draws, 1
loss
 3/97: Kasparov vs. Deeper Blue
 First match won against world champion
 512 processors: 200 million chess
positions per second

How do you think it works?


 Facial Recognition and Enhancement
 Privacy Protection
 AI enabled chips
 Cloud
Mars Rover Humanoid Robots Part-Picking Robots
(Sophia, World’s First
Humanoid Citizen)
 Looking for patterns in vast amounts of data
that is just too big for humans to analyze
 Natural Language Processing Systems
 Automated Driving
 Visual Tracking Systems
