The Current State of AI - IT News

Artificial Intelligence has been around virtually since programmers started coding in the early 1950s. Alan Turing had proposed the Turing test in 1950 and the following year the first chess and checkers programs appeared. In 1956 AI gained its name and the next 20 years was spent, in the end fruitlessly trying to create an intelligent machine. At this time machines were unable to recognise human faces or understand speech. However come 1980 the Japanese Government funded the 5th Generation computer project to create a massively parallel computer.
