Artificial Intelligence should be on its way

Hollywood has intrigued us with its prediction for decades. In almost all Hollywood movies that feature artificial intelligence, all researchers have created surrogate humans and robots that threaten humans' existence. If you believe in all these, it is no doubt that you would think that AI research had not moved on since the late 1950s. Will artificial intelligent robots one day rule the world? It is still early to say. Is it supported by most people as ethical and economic arose by the development of artificial intelligence? But it is the fact that AI research was moving fast on its way since 1950s.

What is artificial intelligence (AI)?

Artificial intelligence is the study of intelligent behaviour in machines. In the 1980s, AI research focused on creating machines that could solve problems and reason like humans. One of the most difficult problems in artificial intelligence is consciousness.

A consciousness is a sense of one's personal or collective identity, including the attitudes, beliefs, and sensitivities held by or considered characteristic of an individual or group. But scientists have found it difficult getting robots to carry out even the simplest of cognitive tasks. .

Turing Test

In 1950, mathematician Alan Turing designed a test to identify whether a machine displayed intelligence. In the Turing Test, two people (A and B) sit in a closed room, while an interrogator (C) sits outside. Person A tries to fool the interrogator about their gender, while person B tries to assist the interrogator in their identification. The Turing test suggested a machine take the place of person A. If the machine consistently fooled the human interrogator, it was likely to be intelligent.
