1. Artificial Intelligence
We wrap this list up with what is probably the most world-changing technology. Artificial Intelligence, also known as AI, has been inspiring scientists, engineers, and even filmmakers. This idea is indeed fascinating and groundbreaking.
So, how does AI work? It advances the way computer works from applying reasoning as search, symbol list processing, and heuristics (a technique of trimming search branches to find solution). With all of these, a computer has the ability to think and reason like a human brain. Impressive, isn’t it?
The first AI program was created by Newell and Simon in 1955. Back then, it was called The Logic Theorist. Then John McCarthy named it Artificial Intelligence. And the whole idea was finally perfected by Alan Turing’s theory of computation.
Creating human-level AI requires a lot of effort, time, and patience. Our brain’s capacity is so huge that it takes time just to figure out how it works. The first time AI was proven to have the ability to think like human was back in 1997. An AI-computer named Deep Blue took on a world champion, Garry Kasparov, on a chess match. Surprise, surprise, Deep Blue won.
All of these advanced technologies have changed our world and will keep doing it for a long time ahead. Let’s just hope we would still be around to witness it. Spread the word by sharing this article through social media! Thank you for reading!
