~ ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ~

In 1906 Lee De Forest invented the trio, also called the bulb or vacuum valve 

In 1940, Alan Turing published a paper of considerable impact on "Computable Numbers". In this paper he introduced the concept of the Turing Machine, an abstract mathematical entity that formalized the concept of algorithm and turned out to be the forerunner of digital computers.

In 1940 Alan Turing and his team built the first electromechanical computer.

1941 Konrad Zuse created the first programmable computer and the first high-level programming language Plankalkül. The next most powerful machines, although with the same concept, were the ABC and ENIAC.

 In 1943 Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts presented their model of artificial neurons, which was considered the first work in the field of artificial intelligence, even though the term did not yet exist.

1950, Turing was the inventor of the so-called "Turing Test", which established a parameter for an intelligent machine: a computer that could fool a person into thinking it was having a conversation with a human being.

In 1950, American writer Isaac Asimov published "I, Robot", a series of science fiction short stories.

One of his most famous writings is the one that includes the three laws of robotics, designed to prevent these creations from turning against humanity.

In 1956 the term "artificial intelligence" was given at Dartmouth during a conference convened by McCarthy, attended by, among others, Minsky, Newell and Simon. At this conference, triumphalist ten-year forecasts were made that were never fulfilled, resulting in the almost total abandonment of research for fifteen years.

1965, In the mid-1960s, expert systems appear, which predict the probability of a solution under a set of conditions. For example, DENDRAL, initiated in 1965 by Buchanan, Feigenbaum and Lederberg, the first Expert System, which assisted a complex Euclidean chemical structure, MACSYMA, which assisted engineers and scientists in the solution of complex mathematical equations.

In 1973 Alain Colmenauer and his research team at the University of Aix-Marseille created PROLOG (from the French PROGRAMMING and LOGISTICS) a language of the same style in AI.

1973, artificial intelligence was in trouble: millions had been invested in ambitious projects and there was little to show for it.

Mathematician James Lighthill gave a report in 1973 on the slow progress of artificial intelligence in the UK.

Research funding was cut and thus began what became known as the winter of artificial intelligence.

In 1997, the first superstar of artificial intelligence was known by his own name: Deep Blue.

The supercomputer created by IBM faced the world chess champion Gary Kasparov and for the first time a machine defeated a human being in a chess competition.

In 2006 the anniversary was celebrated with the 50 years of Artificial Intelligence Congress in Spanish - Campus Multidisciplinar en Percepción e Inteligencia 2006

In November 2008, a little help appeared on the new iPhone: a Google application that recognized voice.

It sounds simple, but it is one of the greatest discoveries in this field. Although voice recognition is one of the goals of artificial intelligence, after decades of research, it had never reached more than 80% accuracy.

In 2011 IBM got a supercomputer called Watson, which won a round of three straight games of Jeopardy, beating its top champions, and winning a million-dollar prize that was then turned into a charity

2014, Eugene Goostman is the name of the first computer program that has managed to make more than 30% of its interlocutors believe that it was a human, a requirement set by Alan Turing, the 'father' of computer science, in his famous artificial intelligence test.

This is a milestone that could mark a before and after for artificial intelligence.

On March 15, 2015, AlphaGo, a Google AI, defeated Go world champion Lee Sedol. Considered the most demanding strategy game in the world, it was no challenge for this Google AI, which defeated the champion 4-1 after five hard-fought games.

2016, Marc Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook, has a new personal assistant. His name is, as a good and stereotypical butler, Jarvis and just like Tony Stark's eponymous assistant in the Iron Man movies, he is virtual.

Jarvis is able to play games with the family, play music, turn on lights and recognize visitors to decide whether or not to open the front door.

It emerged in early 2016 and was a milestone at the time. iMind is "an artificial brain without consciousness that allows the machine to learn as you interact with it."

2017, This Facebook Artificial Intelligence (AI) has had to be deactivated.

A research section of Facebook developed an AI to improve Facebook chatbots. To test it, they let two such machines have a free conversation with each other. The result, the most unexpected of all: they created a new language. At first they thought it was a mistake, but it turned out that yes, they were communicating in a new language developed by 'them'.
