Most of us think that ChatGPT was the first AI program that was introduced however, that was not the reality.
Have you never noticed the online tools we used to us were all AI-based such as PDF converters, Image to Text Converters, Background Removers, Resizing the Images, Files Converters, MP3 and Videos converters, Watermark removers, etc? All these are AI-Based tools.
Let’s discuss the 5 Facts About AI that No One Knows.
- The first AI program was created in 1950 by Alan Turing, a British mathematician and computer scientist.
- The first AI company was Dartmouth College’s Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.
- The first AI application was a spam filter.
- The first AI product was a chess program called Deep Blue.
- The first country to ban AI was China.
1) AI Introduced for the First Time
The first AI program was created in 1950 by Alan Turing, a British mathematician and computer scientist. Turing’s program, called the Turing Test, was designed to test whether a machine could think like a human.
Alan Turing was a British mathematician and computer scientist who is considered to be the father of artificial intelligence. In 1950, he published a paper titled “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” in which he proposed a test for machine intelligence now known as the Turing Test.
So the First AI program was created by Alan Turing.
The Turing Test is conducted as a natural language conversation between a human evaluator and two other parties: a human and a machine designed to generate human-like responses. All participants are separated from one another. If the evaluator cannot reliably tell the machine from the human (Turing originally suggested that the machine would convince a human 30% of the time after five minutes of conversation), the machine is said to have passed the test.
2) The First AI Company
The first AI company was Dartmouth College’s Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. The laboratory was founded in 1956 by John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, and Claude Shannon.
Dartmouth College’s Artificial Intelligence Laboratory was founded in 1956 by John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, and Claude Shannon. The lab’s goal was to develop artificial intelligence systems that could think like humans.
The lab was successful in developing a number of early AI systems, including ELIZA, STUDENT, and GPS. ELIZA was a natural language processing system that could simulate a Rogerian psychotherapist. STUDENT was a computer program that could learn to solve problems by analogy. GPS was a general problem-solving system that could solve a wide variety of problems.
The lab’s work helped to lay the foundation for the field of artificial intelligence. The lab’s work is still being used today in a variety of applications, including spam filters, voice recognition systems, and medical diagnosis systems.
3) The First Ever AI Application
The first AI application was a spam filter. Spam filters use AI to identify and block unwanted emails.
The first spam filter was developed in the early 1990s by a group of researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. The filter used a rule-based approach to identify spam messages.
Spam filters have become increasingly sophisticated over the years. They now use a variety of techniques to identify spam, including machine learning, natural language processing, and statistical analysis.
4) The First Ever AI Product
The first AI product was a chess program called Deep Blue. Deep Blue was created by IBM and defeated world champion Garry Kasparov in 1997.
Deep Blue by IBM was a chess-playing expert system run on a unique purpose-built IBM supercomputer.
It was the first computer to win a game, and the first to win a match, against a reigning world champion under regular time controls
It defeated Garry Kasparov in 1997 by winning two games and drawing three.
Deep Blue’s victory is considered a milestone in the history of artificial intelligence and has been the subject of several books and films.
5) The First Ever Country to Ban AI
The first country to ban AI was China in 2021. China banned AI because it was concerned about the potential for AI to be used for malicious purposes, such as creating autonomous weapons.
China bans AI-generated media without watermarks or clear labels that denote AI-generated content. This is to avoid public confusion or misidentification and to prevent the use of AI to produce, copy, publish, and disseminate illegal and harmful information.
China also bans AI-based discrimination that uses personal information to offer users different prices or services.
