Make AI "Intelligent" Again

The term "artificial intelligence" (AI) was first coined in 1956, at a conference at Dartmouth College, in Hanover, New Hampshire. Since then, AI has had its ups and downs. The period between 1974 – 80 has become known as "AI Winter," because heavy criticism about its progress led to a reduction in both government interest and government funding. The field experienced another winter from 1987 – 93, which coincided with a collapsing market for early general-purpose computers. Things have changed significantly since then.
