Emergence of Artificial Intelligence
Birth
of AI: It was in August 1956 some mathematician and
scientists gathered at Dartmouth College to discuss about how to make machines
simulate human learning and any other feature of intelligence. The workshop ended
with no consensus the name artificial intelligence was picked up for the field
they discussed about. This was the birth
of the AI field. Arthur Samuel then put forward the
concept of machine learning. In 1987 IEEE conferred the computer pioneer award
to Arthur Samuel who was a pioneer in the field of machine learning. The
period from 1956 – 1976 was a flourishing period of this field
Declining
Period of AI: Failure of some
of the projects such as machine translation and negative effect of some
academic reports led to the reduction of expenditure on this field. This
further led to the declining of this field. The period 1976 - 1982 was the
declining period for AI.
Flourishing
Period of AI: Again the field
started rising in mid 80’s. Expert systems capable of logic deduction and
solving problems in specific domains prevailed and also fifth generation
computers showed up. Also, in 1985 decision tree models with stronger visible
effects using AI that broke through limitations of early sensing machine showed
up. The period 1982- 87 was a flourishing period.
Declining
Period of AI: Again in 1987
the technical field encountered its bottleneck, abstract reasoning lost its
popularity and models based on symbolic processing lost their advantages. The
period 1987 – 1997 was the declining period of AI.
Recovery
Period of AI: The computing
performance began improving. Geoffrey Hinton and his students initiated the
study of the deep learning. Internet technology started to be widely used. The
recovery period was from 1997 – 2010.
Explosive
Growth Period of AI: This is
period of very fast growth of the AI. Microsoft released the world’s first
virtual assistant Cortana. This is the information and data environment period.
Computing capability improved multifold with the emergence of multiple-model
data such as massive images, videos and texts. The period 2010 onwards till
date falls in this category.
Summary: AI and its other emerging branches such as
machine learning, data science, are nowadays offered across all major universities
and institutions. JIMS offers four years
B.Tech degree in AI with specialization in machine learning and data science.
