Artificial intelligence to life

Robot cars drive through the desert, electronic eyes carry out the task of rescuers in the pool and real opponents with human-like behaviors fighting gamers . are some of A lot of achievements in the field of artificial intelligence research.

Half a century after the concept of artificial intelligence was born, scientists and engineers have achieved great success in imitating human brains, paving the way for the creation of practical products. for life.

The concept of artificial intelligence was born in 1950 when mathematician Alan Turing suggested experimenting to determine whether or not a machine could think and perceive. In the late 1950s, this field of research emerged and scientists attempted to build systems that could repeat human abilities such as speaking, listening, answering and reasoning. Andrew Ng (left) at Stanford University led the project to create robots with artificial intelligence.

However, computers at that time did not have the capacity and data on the structure and function of biological brains as the researchers now know. This shortage led to the failure of the first generation of artificial intelligence known as Winter AI in the 1980s. However, Spring AI is now beginning to " live up " when homes science develops the theory of human intellectual works.

Progressive steps can be seen through the development of new projects with the tendency to create machines that can enhance safety and security, entertainment and announcements or only control everyday needs. . For example, at Stanford University (USA), computer scientists are developing robots that can use hammers and screws to assemble Ikea bookshelves (projects beyond the reach of many people) as well as clean up later. party, dishwashing or garbage disposal. The pioneer in this area is the ' electronic servant ' being built capable of talking to the owner or demanding more food for the pet.

Recently, Poseidon Technologies Company (France) launched the underwater observation system with the function of supporting rescue workers in swimming pools. This system will give an alert when someone drowns. Last October, robotic cars designed by Stanford engineers went through 132 miles of desert roads without human intervention, ' holding ' the $ 2 million prize of the Advanced Research Project agency. US defense. This is a feat because at the first competition 18 months ago, the best car went no more than 11.2 km and got stuck when entering the mountain road. Microsoft researchers are working on the idea of ​​a software program that can guess where you are traveling. Based on the previous trip, the software will provide useful information about where you plan to go . There are many other remarkable advances that appear all over the world from the tissues. new biology of the brain.

Although most projects can take many years to be commercially exploited, scientists believe that after a quiet time, artificial intelligence has developed faster and more sophisticated. Currently, some experts start using cognitive computing concepts to distinguish their research from the previous generation of artificial intelligence.
