A Historical look at the Development of Artificial Intelligence


To see the basic historical figures and events that led to the development of AI:
  • AI Timeline
  • Some Current researchers and their works in the AI discipline:
  • Famous AI Researchers

  • The theoretical roots of artificial intelligence can be tracked back to the beginnings of time where man has always tried to find ways for machines to solve problems. If we adhere to our definition of AI then it is clear that early calculating algorithims such as stones, the abicuss, and some formal geometry were used to get machines to solve problems.
  • The Prehistory of AI

    With the advent of the digital computer provlem solving became much more efficient and machines could handle much more complicated situations.
  • Natural Language Translation
  • Natural Language Processing

    Neural networking, expert systems, and modern technology has allowed for a significant advancement in the AI discipline.
  • Parallelism, Neural Nets, LISP machines

  • Expert Systems and CYC

    Presently AI is developing both in a disembodied form and robotics.
  • Current Developments
