The human race over the years has made improvements that's mind blowing medically, agriculturally and in all field of life and like a wide guess in 1950 Alan Turing, a young British polymath who explored the mathematical possibility of artificial intelligence predicted that machines would be able to reason like man and engage humans in various tasks and perform favourable, but all who heard of it thought of it as impossible, considering the fact that computers back then could only execute commands but could not remember that command after it was executed and worst still they were very expensive but five years later Five years later, the proof of concept was initialized through Allen Newell, Cliff Shaw, and Herbert Simon’s, Logic Theorist. The Logic Theorist wrote a program designed to mimic the problem solving skills of a human and was funded by Research and Development (RAND) Corporation. It’s considered by many to be the first artificial intelligence program and was presented at the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence (DSRPAI) hosted by John McCarthy and Marvin Minsky in 1956. In this historic conference, McCarthy, imagining a great collaborative effort, brought together top researchers from various fields for an open ended discussion on artificial intelligence, the term which he coined at the very event. Sadly, the conference fell short of McCarthy’s expectations; people came and went as they pleased, and there was failure to agree on standard methods for the field. Despite this, everyone whole-heartedly aligned with the sentiment that AI was achievable. The significance of this event cannot be undermined as it catalyzed the next twenty years of AI research.
From 1957 to 1974, AI flourished. Computers could store more information and became faster, cheaper, and more accessible. Machine learning algorithms also improved and people got better at knowing which algorithm to apply to their problem. Early demonstrations such as Newell and Simon’s General Problem Solver and Joseph Weizenbaum’s ELIZA showed promise which are a reality today where we have AI capable of performing tasks years back thought impossible are now possible and just like the industrialization that reshaped the industries in Europe and the rest of the world it comes with it's benefits and they're numerous if used well like the concept of of self driven cars, auto pilot in aircrafts,auto response to messages and 3D and 4D printers and simulators which has made life easier.
