From the early ancient ideas and inventions that led to today’s predictive text software, the team at AIPRM charted the progress of AI technology. Starting in the ancient era, we find figures like the Persian Father of Algebra, Al-Khwarizmi. His discovery of algorithms made computing possible, which, in turn, made AI possible. Aristotle’s theories of reason developed into syllogism, a foundational concept of artificial intelligence.
We followed the graph to the dawn of modern AI when John McCarthy coined the phrase artificial intelligence in 1955. He also created the first AI programming language, Lisp, which helped develop popular languages, Python and JavaScript. Alan Turing developed a test that assesses the true intelligence of machines. According to Turing, we haven’t achieved true artificial intelligence unless we can’t distinguish between machine and human responses.
