Artificial Intelligence: A

Comprehensive Overview
Introduction to AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines,
especially computer systems. These processes include learning (the acquisition of information
and rules for using the information), reasoning (using rules to reach approximate or definite
conclusions), and self-correction. AI aims to enable computers to perform tasks that typically
require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and
translation between languages.

History and Evolution of AI


The concept of AI has been around for centuries, but the formal field of AI research began in the
mid-20th century.

Early Developments (1950s-1970s)


●​ Alan Turing's work on computability and the Turing Test.
●​ Dartmouth Workshop (1956) where the term "Artificial Intelligence" was coined.
●​ Early AI programs demonstrating problem-solving and reasoning abilities.

AI Winter (1970s-1980s)
●​ Reduced funding and interest due to unmet expectations.
●​ Limitations in computational power and algorithms.

Resurgence and Growth (1980s-Present)
