Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a sub-field of computer science that involves using computers to do things that traditionally require human intelligence or intervention such as decision making, problem-solving, and learning.

This means creating algorithms to classify, analyze, and draw predictions from data. It also involves acting on data, learning from new data, and improving over time. With AI, computers can learn to accomplish a task without ever being explicitly programmed to do so.

How did we get here and why was AI not Popular in the 1990s?

• **1950 — **Alan Turing Introduced the Turing Test to determine whether a machine can think and respond logically to questions like a human without any distinction.
• **1956 — **The term Artificial Intelligence was coined by John McCarthy in the Dartmouth Conference.
• **1960 — **Psychologist Frank Rosenblatt’s work on the perception lead to the development of the Mark 1 Perception regarded as the first computer that learned skills by trial and error.
• 1978/1979 — SCARA robotic arm was created in Japan that changed the automated Assembly.
• The late 1970s — Early 1980s — Known as the “winter of AI”. Time of reduced funding and interest in AI
• 1988 — British scientist Rollo Carpenter creates Jabberwacky. A chatbot designed to carry out conversations with users and initiate human interactions.
• **1997 **— IBM’s Deep Blue computer beats Gary Kasparov reigning world chess champion, in a game of chess.
• Late 1990s — Dr. Cynthia Breazeal of MIT designs KISMET. A robot that can recognize and replicate human emotions.
• Late 2000s — IBM introduces Watson. A question-answering computer system that is able to answer questions posed in Natural Language.
• 2011 — Apple launches Siri. An intelligent personal assistant.
• 2017 — Google AI Alpha Go beats the World reigning Champion and Grand Master Ke Jie in the Game of Go.
• Other intelligent systems are emerging across the globe now.
