The Development of Artificial Intelligence in the Field of Computing Technology
Artificial Intelligence has become an integral part of everyday life in the twenty-first century for developed countries. This technology is used every day in cell phone voice recognition software in phones, gaming systems, and many advanced software programs. For many people, the effects of artificial intelligence simply appear in the things they do everyday; however, it is very important to see how artificial intelligence has developed in order to accurately predict what it could develop in to. The origin, development, and use of artificial intelligence give society insight to where this technology can take us. …show more content…
Greek philosophers Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates laid the foundation for modern thought and developed the system of using algorithms to come to conclusions (Russell and Norvig). After thousands of years of development, logic can now be conceived as a systematic process of calculations, probabilities, and predicted outcomes. The idea of a programmable machine has been around for over one hundred years. Joseph Marie Jacquard invented a loom in 1805 that could be programmed using punch cards (Russell and Norvig). The idea that a machine could be programmed to think for itself, however, is a relatively new idea with effects that are now seen in everyday life. Artificial Intelligence is defined as the “faculty of the human mind and brain that enables us to think and learn” as applied to computer programs and machines (Simon). Artificial Intelligence was a brainchild of creation during the beginning of the technological revolution. In 1965, John McCarthy, Alien Newell, Herbert Simon, and many other leading technology researchers held a conference in Dartmouth, New Hampshire for the sole purpose of discussing its development (Russell and Norvig). Artificial Intelligence as a scientific field was developed and it named at this conference in 1965 (Buchanan). This was the beginning of a new, exciting, and innovative era in computing and logic
