other associated words with it. The words like cheese, Dominos, thin crust, snacks, toppings, eat,
                 friends, party, hungry, and so on. AI missed this crucial component before Quillian’s semantic web
                 was introduced. Now, it has provided necessary map of relational understanding to computers.



                         Edward Feigenbaum


                                             Edward Feigenbaum is often called the, “Father of Expert Systems”.
                                             He was the joint winner of 1994 ACM Turing Award.

                                             While he was a student, he developed EPAM (Elementary Perceiver
                                             and Memorizer), one of the first computer models of how people
                                             learn,  as  his  Ph.D.  project.  His  project  Dendral  was  the  most

                                             important to AI Sciences. It used computer systems to identify and
                                             communicate  the  presence  of  diseases  when  given  spectrometer
                                             readings of blood samples. This was the first use of an AI “Expert
                                             System”.




                         Marvin Minsky


                 Marvin Minsky was an American Cognitive and Computer Scientist.

                 He wrote the book ‘Perceptrons’ as his ground breaking work on Artificial
                 Neural  Networks.  He  created  several  new  models  of  AI  systems.  He
                 provided expert advice on several projects including Stanley Kubrick’s,

                 “A Space Odyssey”.


                         IBM



                                                        IBM  company  stood  as  the  next  pioneer  in  the  field  of
                                                        Artificial Intelligence as it hit a major milestone with its
                                                        development  and  creation  of  Deep  Blue.  It  was  an  AI

                                                        system which was dedicated to play chess with an objective
                                                        to beat a human chess master using AI. On February 10,
                                                        1997,  it  played  against  world  renowned  chess  master
                                                        Garry Kasparov. For the first time AI won against a human.

                                                        As  a  result  of  the  work  of  these  pioneers,  artificial
                 intelligence has come this far and continues to grow and make our future bright.
