"Knowledge is power"
Edward Feigenbaum (born 20 January 1936, USA) is an American computer scientist who works in the field of artificial intelligence.
Feigenbaum was educated at Carnegie Mellon University.
Turing Award "For their pioneering work in the fields of design and construction of artificial intelligence systems to large scale, demonstrating the practical importance and commercial potential of technologies of artificial intelligence. "(with Raj Reddy)
History of artificial intelligence (AI)
For years, humans have been intrigued by the notion of super-intelligent machines that surpass human intellect and ability. Although many consider the idea as pure science fiction, it quickly becomes a reality, and faster than most people even begin to realize .
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the science that develops these machines. This is obviously not a simple thing. However, researchers have made enormous progress in the last half century, and also very sincere, we may very well be on the path towards a world dominated by the machine very, very soon. However, there are still many obstacles still to overcome.
The problem is that there is no concrete definition of intelligence (which does not necessarily mean it exists to abstract) that do not rise as a function of humans. We can not yet characterize in general what kinds of computational procedures we want to call intelligent. We understand some of the mechanisms of intelligence and not others. A common stereotype
AI is super-human sense, with the example database of Star Trek. What most do not understand is that in practice in research on AI, the goal is not usually mimic human behavior, which is largely impossible to do, but to provide tools we use a certain degree of reasoning. For example, a practical application could be a processing unit of text that can do the proper control of grammar. To be done properly, this would mean being able to understand the context of written work, which in turn would mean being able to understand things written down. This requires a high degree of reasoning, yet it is not to imitate human behavior. The only "intelligence" What software is that it wants to require them. In time, such as research on the subject continues to give more and more fruit, our use of AI will become more advanced, and can start to look like something out of a sci-fi. Yet it is still doubtful whether we will ever need as humans become robots.
The intellectual roots of AI, and the concept of intelligent machines, have their basis in Greek mythology. Intelligent artifacts appear in literature and since then, with real (and fraudulent) mechanical devices actually known to behave with some degree of intelligence. Some of these conceptual achievements are listed below under "Ancient History."
After modern computers became available after World War II, it became possible to create programs that perform difficult intellectual tasks. These programs, we construct general tools that have applications in a wide variety of problems everyday. library.thinkquest
Critique of AI
resistance to the idea of artificial intelligence it is only after these literary representations, which focus on book-to-human intelligence, to the point consider artificial intelligence as a contradiction in terms? Certainly, the presence of a machine can be considered a simple utilitarian perspective that lends little consequence. Although one might argue that technical extensions alter the consciousness or the nature of human beings, as recognized AI opponents, often simultaneously to the contrary. But those who practice computer, and those with whom it has promised some stunning achievements, may find that part of mechanized human activity, no longer concerns a motor quality (such as transport) or technical (such as mechanization general, as opposed to crafts). Mechanized human property, knowledge, or thought so, touches the most fundamental. And the whole question of artificial intelligence. jbolo highlight
