Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Its Impact on Society

  The Evolution of AI Artificial Intelligence is commonly thought to be a brand-new technology. The reality is that the concept of AI has been around for a long time. Aristotle (384-322 B.C.), first developed an informal system of syllogisms for proper reasoning, allowing one to generate conclusions mechanically, given initial premises. (1) I'm not going to go so far as to say that Aristotle invented artificial intelligence, but throughout history there have been important concepts and theories that helped pave the way for AI as we know it today. This article dives deeper into the history of artificial intelligence, highlighting the disciplines that contributed to its development, key breakthroughs, and the technologies that help to make AI possible. Thanks for reading! Disciplines that Contributed to AI Development It's important to understand that artificial intelligence draws from multiple disciplines, each helping to make it possible. Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig do a go...

Unlocking AI: Understanding the Basics of Artificial Intelligence and Its Importance It seems that everyone is talking about artificial intelligence these days. You hear about it in the news, you use it on social media platforms (or it uses you), and you most likely interact with chatbots. Heck, you may even use AI intentionally to help with productivity or to learn a new skill. AI has captivated the minds of so many people, and if I'm honest, it has captivated my mind as well. Therefore, I'm starting on a journey where I intend to research AI and its impact on society. This article will serve as my launching point, as I hope to describe what artificial intelligence is, identify the different types of AI, and address some of the reasons why I think everyone should be paying attention to it. Thanks for taking the time to read! What is Artificial Intelligence? This is an excellent question. According to IBM, artificial intelligence is "...technology that enables computers an...
