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
