Alan Turing explored the mathematical possibility of artificial intelligence
-
John McCarthy hosted a conference about computer programs designed to mirror problem solving skills like humans at the Dartmouth Summer Research project on artificial intelligence.
-
People believed AI was achievable. Computers became faster, cheaper, more accessible and was able to store more information.
-
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) began to fund AI research at several institutions.
-
Hosted Dartmouth conference with John McCarthy and co-founded the MIT's AI laboratory
-
John McCarthy and Marvin Minsky founded the MIT Artificial Intelligence laboratory
-
The AI Stanford Lab created many new systems that were able to mimic human skills that included listening, learning, reasoning, and vision.
-
McCarthy and Minsky began to have conflict and parted ways. McCarthy went to Stanford's AI laboratory and served as the director.
-
John McCarthy was awarded the A. M. Turing Award, the Kyoto Prize, and the National Medal of Science.
-
Newell and Simon's General Problem Solver and the Logic Theory Program aided towards problem solving and won Turing Awards.
-
AI was expanded by the algorithmic toolkit and an increase of funding.
-
John Hopfield and David Rumelhart created new learning techniques for computers to learn through different experiences.
-
Edward Feigenbaum created new expert systems to recreate decision making processes from human experiences.
-
Factors of AI were funded by the Fifth Generation Computer Project (FGCP). Goals were to revolutionize computer processing and improving artificial intelligence.
-
The Japanese government invested $400 million dollars towards AI endeavors even though the AI goals were not met and they soon fell off.
