One may ask why the sudden excitement given its 70-year history? For me, it involves the 3 requirements for AI which are mathematics, massive data for training, and compute power. Today AI and its subsets of machine learning and deep learning are all over the Internet and the new hope is that these systems will be able to solve mankind’s greatest issues such as the climate, food, energy, and transportation. I’m sure you will agree the Turing test has been passed.Īlan Turing was discussing this idea back in 1950 so AI has been around now for 70 years. If you’ve seen any of my presentations on Artificial Intelligence (AI) I use the Goggle assistant as an example. The basis for what became known as the Turing test. At one point he made the statement “A computer would deserve to be called intelligent if it could deceive a human into believing it was human”. Turing is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence. Turing was highly influential in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalization of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general-purpose computer. Alan Turing OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) FRS (Fellow of the Royal Society) born 23 June 1912 and died 7 June 1954 was an English mathematician, computer scientist, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher, and theoretical biologist, or what we would call today an under-achiever.
