    These developments help machines work smarter, faster and support humans in many tasks.

                  AI INDUSTRY PIONEERS

                  Humans have always tried to make machines smart and capable enough to work on their own.
                  The foundation of this thought was first laid at Dartmouth College by John McCarthy. Similarly,
                  over the years, there have been many notable contributors in the field of Artificial Intelligence.
                  Let us have a look at some these pioneers in the field of Artificial Intelligence whose contribution

                  proved to be a milestone for the future generation. Here are a few key figures:
                  Alan Turing

                  Alan Turing was a brilliant British Mathematician, Biologist and Computer
                  Scientist.  His  Turing  Machine  was one  of  the  first, basic  computers
                  created. In 1950, Alan Turing published a ground breaking seminal paper
                  “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” on the topic of artificial intelligence.
                  It introduced the concept of what is now known as Turing Test.

                  The test is still a matter of standards today. It establishes that if a computer
                  can have a simple dialogue with a person via a printer, then that itself is
                  a proof that the machine is “thinking”. It was for this work that led him to be regarded as the
                  Father of Theoretical Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence.

                           Factbot

                    In 2014, a chatbot posing as a 13-year-old Ukrainian boy, earned the title of the first machine to
                    pass the Turing Test. The bot, dubbed Eugene Goostman, convinced a third of the judges he spoke
                    to that he was a human.

                                         John McCarthy

                                         John McCarthy was an American Computer Scientist and Cognitive Scientist.
                                         He  is  known  as  the  “Father  of  Artificial  Intelligence”.  He  developed  the
                                         LISP (an acronym for List Processing) programming language and soon
                                         it  became the  choice  of  programming  language.  In  1971  he  received
                                         the Turing Award. He was a pioneer in Mathematical Logic for Artificial
                                         Intelligence.
