HISTORY OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (A.I.)

 It might be a little hard to believe but the field of AI is not a recent phenomenon.

This term was first used in 1995 by John McCarthy in one of his articles.

Over the years, major advancement kept in happening and the world was introduced to ideas like talking machines, autonomous vehicles, robots, and of course machines capable of defeating legendary players like Gary Kasparov in Chess.

but we might also have the question as to why there was so much interest in AI from the very beginning.

 NEED FOR AI :

Alan Turing (Father of Modern Computing) had described how a human brain's functioning can be represented by electrical wires. 

This increased the curiosity over, "Can machines think and behave like humans do ?"

It could result in an unstoppable brain that can create expert systems as well as showcase intelligence.

In order to create intelligence within machines, a lot of funding was provided to AI projects which reaped benefits in a later stage.

As of today, we have fully functional human robots like Sophia which can answer questions from fellow humans.

Certainly, the field of AI has developed gradually over all these years.
