114 Milestones In The History Of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

It was the event that "initiated AI as a research discipline," which grew to encompass multiple approaches, from the symbolic AI of the 1950s and 1960s to the statistical analysis and machine learning of the 1970s and 1980s to today's deep learning, the statistical analysis of "big data." But the preoccupation with developing practical methods for making machines behave as if they were humans emerged already 7 centuries ago. By using this "Contrivance," "the most ignorant Person at a reasonable Charge, and with a little bodily Labour, may write Books in Philosophy, Poetry, Politicks, Law, Mathematicks, and Theology, with the least Assistance from Genius or study." Bayesian inference will become a leading approach in machine learning. The boat was equipped with, as Tesla described it, "a borrowed mind."
