Brilliant scientist Alan Turing is known as a father of Artificial Intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence begin to emerge as a separate field of study during 1940 and 1950 when computer became a commercial reality.
The History Of Artificial Intelligence (AI) | Root_Tech, roottechy
In 1940
  • Cybernetics a name coined by the Norbert Wiener, brought about a many parallel between human and machine.
  • Cybernetics is a study of communication between human and machine that became active area of research during 1940. It combined concept of from information theory, feedback control and electronic computers.
In 1945
  • Stored program concept has been started. It includes: MARK-1, ENIAC, UNIVAC and EDVAC.
In 1950
  • Chess playing programs, which were developed by researchers like a Claude Shannon at MIT and Allen Newell at RAND Corporation.
  • Other type of game playing and simulation program were also be developed this time.
  • Much effort was made by a language translation using a computer it was held that storage of large dictionaries in a computer was basically all that was needed top produce accurate translation from one language to another.
Around 1957
  • Lisp (list programming) language development by the John McCarthy became one of the recognized programming language of Artificial Intelligence.
  • Chomsky's work had a strong influence on Artificial Intelligence in area of computational linguistics Natural Languages Processing and Grammars.

  • Fortran language was developed in this year.

In 1965 
  • A.L. Samuel, developed a program which learned to play checkers at master level.

In 1970 
  • General Problem Solver (GPS) was developed to solve a variety of a problem ranging from symbolic representation to word puzzles(such as missionaries cannibals problem).

 In 1972
  • MYCIN expert system was developed, that tells about the disease by knowing the symptoms.

In 1981 
  • Japanese launched Fifth Generation Computers. It was a Cooperative fault between government and a private companies having an interested in the manufacturer of computer products, related field and Robotics.

  • With the combined the budget of about 1 billion dollars, the Japanese were determined that they will realize many of their goals namely to produce system that can convert in Natural Language, understanding speech and visual scenes learn and refine its a knowledge, make decisions and exhibit other human traits.

  • Following Japanese, other leading countries of world have announced plants for some form of AI program.
  • Example : British initiated "Alvey" project, European initiated "ESPRIT" program.

  • Other countries including Canada, Soviet, Union, Italy, Australia and even the Irish Republic and Singapore how made some company commitments in funded research and development.
