Crash Course Artificial Intelligence #1

Until about 1997 or so, the field of AI was basically frozen in what’s called the AI Winter

The AI Winter started thawing around 2005.

The most advanced computer at the Dartmouth Conference was the IBM 7090 and it filled a whole table.

A machine has artificial intelligence if it can do things like interpret data and potentially learn from the data.

The term artificial intelligence was coined in 1953 by a computer scientist named James McCarthy.

Photo recognition does not qualify as AI because it is a single-function process.

The term artificial intelligence didn’t even exist a century ago.

The AI Revolution didn’t begin with a single event, idea, or invention.

Scientists at the Dartmouth Conference seriously overestimated how much data and computing power an AI would need.

AI might screen your college application before a human even sees it.

The AI Winter was happening because of the limits in data processing speeds of computers.

AI needs a powerful enough computer to make sense of all the data.
