WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE? Artificial intelligence, analyzes the methods of human thinking and like artificial attempts to develop their guidelines. One point of view, may seem to attempt to think of a computerprogrammed but this defines the present rapidly changing and may develop in the future regardless of the human intellect has a new orientations toward the concept of artificial intelligence. DEFINITION According to an idealized approach to artificial intelligence, human intelligence is unique, perception, learning, connecting multiple concepts, thinking, ideas, execution, problem solving, higher cognitive functions such as communication, or exhibit the expected behavior of an artificial autonomous operating system. HISTORY "Artificial intelligence" concept as old as the history of modern computer science. The idea is the father, "machines can think?" Mathison Turing put forward the question. During World War II, Crypto Analyses was needed so electromechanical devices manufactured thus was born the concept of computer science and artificial intelligence. DEVELOPMENT PROCESS 1 The first research and artificial neural networks 2 New approaches THE FIRST RESEARCH AND ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS Idealized definition of artificial intelligence is one of the first studies was conducted by McCulloch and Pitts. This is suggested by the researchers, using a computational model of artificial nerve cells, propositional logic, physiology and theory of computation based on Turing. Identified as appropriate in this network structures suggested that the ability to learn could win. Shannon and Turing in the 1950s to write programs for computers chess. The first artificial neural network-based computer SNARC, Minsky at MIT in 1951 and was made by Edmonds. Continues to work at Princeton University, McCarthy, Minsky, along with Shannon and Rochester in 1956, Dartmouth held a two-month open trial. At this meeting, along with entering the basis of many studies, the most important feature of the meeting proposed by McCarthy to evaluate the name of Artificial Intelligence. NEW APPROACH Then Newell and Simon, developed the first program produced according to the approach of thinking like a human being. Simon, then took out the hypothesis that physical symbol. This theory formed the starting point of those engaged in the work of people making independent intelligent systems. Simon's the definition of artificial intelligence approaches, two different scientists is important because it indicates that the trend: Symbolic Artificial Intelligence, Cybernetics Artificial Intelligence APPROACHES AND CRITICISM 1. Symbolic artificial intelligence Simon's approach to symbolic logic-based studies has been dominant in the next few years and a number of programs to show the achievements and problems in artificial worlds are used. Later on, these problems do not represent in any way in real life and artificial intelligence toy accused of being the worlds only be successful in these areas and suggested that it can not solve problems in real life. This is the most famous programs developed by Weizenbaum Eliza, opposite appears to be able to chat with, just opposite the man was doing some operations on sentences. Similar approaches were used during the first machine translation, but the results could not be better. 2. Cybernetics, artificial intelligence Artificial Neural Networks as Cybernetic fronts, including work in the same situation. Basic structures the work of many researchers stopped the emergence of some important deficiencies. EXPERT SYSTEMS Each stream also suffered two failures, to solve every problem, instead of generalpurpose systems are equipped with information for a particular field of expertise to the development of programs that led to the idea of using artificial intelligence field, and this again led to a revival. Expert systems developed a methodology called as soon as possible. But here is a typical situation is extremely common, with suggestions for a car repair expert system program was that the car does not know what business is doing. Despite this, the first commercial applications of expert systems has brought with it success. Artificial intelligence came slowly become an industry. NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING Anthropology of human intelligence with advanced science reveal the link between the lay language, artificial intelligence work conducted in the same language again became important. Human intelligence had never understood the concepts directly. Support of people understood the power of the language being thought. In this way, concepts of the human mind with the thought process is faster than the animal's brain. Natural languages used by people who understand computers, the study of communication began to accelerate. First, the field of expert systems was met with interest. Then, aroused interest among those interested in symbolic artificial intelligence with. Today, symbolic artificial intelligence researchers can establish a connection between the data using special artificial intelligence languages. All of these developments and processes in a group at the end of the artificial intelligence researcher, who can think like a human being will continue to explore systems, while the other is a group of commercial value, and rational decision-systems (expert systems) focused on. THE FUTURE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Expected to unite all areas of artificial intelligence research in the future. Cybernetics is an Artificial Brain-modeled approach, simulated the human mind is a symbolic approach to cognitive processes, flexible as the human mind will ,Expert Systems of knowledge as a competent and rational approach. With a balanced mix of these, Artificial Intelligence, in the future to create an alternative to human intelligence. DUYGU UZUNALI 2009503060 INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING DOKUZ EYLÜL UNIVERSITY TURKEY
