Birth of artificial intelligence
Concepts of artificial intelligence have also become present in industry in the course of digitalization. However, numerous theories, topics and technologies have been and are subsumed under the buzzword AI. So what is meant by artificial intelligence? The intellectual foundation of artificial intelligence can already be seen in a research proposal submitted for this purpose in 1955.
At that time, a team of scientists submitted a proposal to hold a seminar with ten participants at Dartmouth College during the summer of 1956. They were convinced that, in principle, all aspects of learning and other features of intelligence could be described in such detail that a machine could be built to simulate these processes. The idea was to try to figure out how machines could be made to use language, make abstractions, and develop concepts and continue to improve themselves. Tasks of the kind that were then the sole preserve of human intelligence.
