Essay on AI
Artificial Life “There are three great events in history. One, the creation of the universe. Two, the appearance of life. The third one, which I think is in equal importance, is the appearance of Artificial Intelligence (Guzeldere, 2005).”
Since before the Common Era, efficiency in work has been tackled by the scholarly geniuses who have moved us forward into the scientific generation we are today. They have tried to quantify and imitate the infinite processes that our human minds create. Their reasons for this are to have results that are far more efficient and convenient than the actions that are regularly executed by humans. By trying to fulfill this mission they have invented artificial intelligence.
The complexity of our mind is far more advanced compared to the man-made circuits and processors that still have much to evolve in order to mimic us. Although the computing machines today are efficient in providing results for a specific task, it is still years away before humans complete its quest to mimic the inner workings of the mind in the form of computers. Artificial Intelligence was known to have risen from the mechanization of thinking. The sixth century before the Common Era, Homer’s The Illiad was introduced into literature, in which he talks about self-propelled chairs called “tripods” and golden “attendants” constructed by Hephaistos, to get him around.
During Aristotle’s discoveries, he formulated precise laws that governed the rational part of the mind and developed a system of syllogisms (syllogistic logic) for proper reasoning. In principle, it allowed one to formulate conclusions mechanically.
Then came the first century of the Common Era in which Heron of Alexander builds fabled automata and other mechanical wonders. It was not until the 13th century in which Ramon Lull invented the Ars Magna, a map devised to win Muslims into the Christian faith with logic and reasoning.
Around the 15th century, the
