The Origins of Artificial Intelligence


John McCarthy and Newtonian physics are topics on this episode of The AI Minute.

Transcript: In 1956, a man named, John McCarthy coined the term artificial intelligence. He gathered together a group of scientists at Dartmouth who thought that over the course of the summer, if they worked really hard, they could solve the problem of how do you make a computer intelligent. Of course 60 years later we still haven't cracked it, but one must ask why they were so optimistic. This was with 1950s computers, and they thought they could solve for human intelligence over the course of a summer. The answer is they thought, as a guiding principle, that just like with Newtonian physics, a few equations could explain all the activity in the physical universe. There were similar laws around magnetism and electricity that were just a few laws that they were able to explain all observed phenomenon. The hope had been that human intelligence would be like that, that maybe there are just a couple of very simple elements that you had to crack. This doesn't appear to be the case, and therefore we haven’t made it all the way to artificial general intelligence and we're going to have to get there by a much longer route. http://bit.ly/2VIht4S gigaom May 03, 2019 at 03:15PM
