Artificial Intelligence in Byte-sized Chunks

The Second World War brought devastation and horrific suffering for millions of people. But like all wars, it acted as a catalyst for rapid technological advancement

their own ways at surviving in their respective niches.

Biological brains

Grey Walter likened their brains to two sensory neurons: one for light, one for touch.

I have a smart TV, phone, car, watch and various other gadgets that I can actually talk to. They detect it’s me from my voice and can answer my questions or find a show I might like to see, or a product I’m currently looking for.

There are so many smart technological solutions today that help us in our daily lives. We live in an age of science fiction come true. I have a smart dishwasher and washing machine that both detect their respective contents and automatically adjust water usage and cleaning programs to save energy. I have a robot vacuum cleaner that cleans my floors, and I can see that it doesn’t miss any spots, as I might. (It can’t do the stairs though.) I have a smart heating system that heats only the zone of the house I’m in, and that adjusts its program depending on the weather outside as well as the temperature inside. I have a smart home that detects where I am and, based on the time of the sunrise and sunset, controls

After iterating a few times, the result was artwork evolved to suit the taste of the artist. (It was an idea that biologist Richard Dawkins had experimented with for his book The Blind Watchmaker – writing a little evolutionary program that evolved a range of ‘bugs’.)

Asynchronous Advantage Actor-Critic (A3C

But in 1955, a group of pioneering American scientists proposed the first conference where everyone should meet to discuss this emerging field of research. It would take place in Dartmouth College, in the USA. In their proposal, they named the field Artificial Intelligence.

Some called it cybernetics. Others preferred information processing, or automata theory.
