- What is artificial intelligence?
Show answer
The science and engineering of creating intelligent machines and software that can perceive, reason, learn, and act to achieve goals.
- What is narrow AI?
Show answer
AI systems designed to perform a specific, well-defined task within a limited domain.
- What is general AI?
Show answer
AI systems that can understand and learn any intellectual task that a human can perform.
- What is the Turing test?
Show answer
A test of machine intelligence where a human evaluator judges whether responses in a text conversation come from a human or machine.
- Who proposed the Turing test?
Show answer
Alan Turing, a British mathematician and logician.
- In what year was the Turing test proposed?
Show answer
1950, in Turing's paper 'Computing Machinery and Intelligence'.
- What is an expert system?
Show answer
A computer system designed to emulate the decision-making ability of a human expert in a specific domain using a knowledge base and inference rules.
- What is symbolic AI?
Show answer
An approach to AI that uses explicit symbols and logical rules to represent knowledge and perform reasoning.
- What does GOFAI stand for?
Show answer
Good Old-Fashioned Artificial Intelligence, referring to symbol-manipulation and logic-based approaches.
- What was the Dartmouth Summer Research Project?
Show answer
A 1956 workshop at Dartmouth College considered the birth of AI as an academic field, where the term 'artificial intelligence' was coined.
- Who were the main organizers of the Dartmouth Conference?
Show answer
John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Nathaniel Rochester, and Claude Shannon.
- What is knowledge representation?
Show answer
The practice of encoding information about a domain in a form that a computer can utilize to solve reasoning and decision-making tasks.
- What is ELIZA?
Show answer
An early natural language processing program that simulated a psychotherapist by recognizing keywords and patterns, then generating responses through pattern matching and substitution.
- Who created ELIZA?
Show answer
Joseph Weizenbaum, a computer scientist at MIT.
- In what year was ELIZA created?
Show answer
1966.
