The Impact of Artificial Intelligence

The Impact of Artificial Intelligence Technology has advanced at an exponential rate. Computers were invented not too long ago and we can see how in just a few decades computers have a lot more capabilities, store more memory, perform more task, and in a less amount of time, come in smaller sizes, and are portable. Artificial Intelligence has brought much anticipation in society and scientists, researchers, and inventors are working hard to create such. There have been promises of many different inventions that will make life easier and better for humankind and at the rate they are going one can see that it will happen. People’s life has changed dramatically and it has become dependent on the artificial intelligence that they have today, it is a wonder as to how much it will change society with the success of truly inventing artificial intelligence that can reason logically and master human language. Before we go any further, let’s take a look at the history behind artificial intelligence. Evidence of Artificial Intelligence folklore can be traced back to ancient Egypt, but with the development of the electronic computer in 1941, developed in both the U.S. and Germany, the technology finally became available to create machine intelligence. The first computer required large, separate air-conditioned rooms, and involved the separate configuration of thousands of wires to get the program started. In 1949 a better version of the computer was invented, the stored program computer, it made the job of entering a program easier. With the advances in computer theory it led to computer science which eventually led to AI (Artificial Intelligence). Although the computer provided the technology necessary for AI, it was not until the early 1950’s that the link between human intelligence and machines was really observed. A man named Norbert Wiener did research into feedback loops and was able to theorize that all intelligent behavior was the result of feedback mechanisms and
