Slide 4 - Philosophical Roots

Ancient Greek myths portrayed automata as lifelike mechanical beings, while 17th-century philosopher Descartes viewed animals as soulless machines governed by mechanics. In the 1940s, Alan Turing questioned if machines could genuinely think and reason, with these historical ideas laying the groundwork for modern artificial intelligence.

Philosophical Roots

  • Ancient Greek myths depict automata as mechanical beings with life-like qualities.
  • 17th century: Descartes proposes animals as soulless machines driven by mechanics.
  • 1940s: Turing's paper explores whether machines can truly think and reason.
  • These ideas form foundational concepts for modern artificial intelligence.

Slide 6 - Birth of AI: 1950s-1960s

In the 1950s, Alan Turing proposed the Turing Test in 1950 to evaluate machine intelligence, and the 1956 Dartmouth Conference coined the term "Artificial Intelligence" under John McCarthy's leadership. The 1960s saw early AI advancements, including Joseph Weizenbaum's 1966 ELIZA chatbot simulating psychotherapy conversations and Terry Winograd's 1969 SHRDLU program demonstrating natural language understanding in a virtual block world.
