Overcoming The Barriers To Conversational AI - Disruption Hub

In 1955, a group of scientists submitted a request to fund a ten person summer research project at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, USA. As part of their paperwork, they hypothesised that'every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it.' This proposal is often cited as the birth of Artificial Intelligence. Within it, the ability for computers to understand language is the first such feature of intelligence mentioned. Even earlier than that, in 1950, Alan Turing decided to devise a test for intelligent conversation.
