Artificial Intelligence We have come so far…
Some might say that Artificial Intelligence was first seen in ancient history with mythological gods. Others believe the idea was created in early 1940’s. These are still debated between many scientists. Artificial Intelligence means much more than an idea to those who have dedication their lives to this science. In this paper I will be discussing the history, progress, and future of Artificial Intelligence, or as some know it (A.I.). Shall we began? As some scientist argue, the beginning of artificial intelligence was first seen in mythology. Shall we take a look? In mythology, there were creatures that were made out of objects. For example, the story of Pygmalion and Galatea. Pygmalion was a sculptor who was so into his creations he shunned women. One day he created a sculpture of a woman, who he named Galatea. He found the beauty in this sculpture overwhelmingly lifelike. He prayed to the Goddess Aphrodite to beg her to turn his new sculpture into a real woman so he could be happy. Aphrodite became interested in the sculpture of Galatea and went that night to see the creation for herself. When Aphrodite arrived she saw the beauty of the artwork and was overly joyous because it seem to resemble herself. She granted Pygmalion his wish and he and his newly living creation lived happily ever after. The basis of this story is the same as of the more recent ideas of artificial intelligence. Artificial Intelligence is defined as “the study and design of intelligent agents” (Goebel, Poole, & Mackworth, 1998). In 1941 an invention revolutionized every aspect of the storage and processing of information. That invention, developed in both the U.S. and Germany was the electronic computer. (Dumm, Snitzer, & Dyess, 2011) The electronic computer gave way to many ideas. Scientist began to develop theories and find ways to evolve the computer. In
