Computer Science Artificial Intelligence Emerged
Creating artificial intelligence has always been a fantasy for humans. From the age of Greeks, there have been attempts to automate what humans do. Since the technology was not advanced at the time of Greeks, they used simple mechanisms to automate simple human like motions. Even before that, they had tales of gods who have mechanical servants.
With the dawn of computer technology, computer science artificial intelligence emerged. Computer science artificial intelligence was a modern and scientific approach for the century old fantasy of artificial intelligence. From the beginning of the field of computer science, the scientists kept the eye on the price of computer science artificial intelligence. They knew that the computers have a potential to create artificial intelligence. Therefore, in parallel to computer programming, the wing of artificial intelligence emerged. When the functional and structured programming languages were developed for regular scientific and business programming, logic programming was introduced for computer science artificial intelligence.
Although the science fiction writers predicted a rapid development in the field of computer science artificial intelligence, the actual progress was not rapid. From mid of 1940s, computer science artificial intelligence has come a long way, but far behind what has been estimated. As an example, people of 1950s estimated that by year 2000, there will be mechanical human replica that can perform almost all the tasks the humans do. Although this was a superstitious estimate, there has been some kind of progress in automating the human cognition.
At present, computer science artificial intelligence has many sub divisions, catering many domains of knowledge. Although the computer science artificial intelligence still is in research phase, the by products have been useful in producing useful tools for fields such as aerospace technology, medicine, nuclear science, finance, and education. The software systems called 'artificial intelligence agents' carryout different tasks for helping humans with the process of decision making these fields.
Automation the full human perception and cognition is computer science artificial intelligence ultimate goal. There are different approaches for achieving this based on different theories proposed. There are parallel research and development taking place in all these approaches with the hope that one will be able to compliment other at some point of the progress. In fact, this has been proven correct, as there are systems that use multiple artificial intelligence components developed by different approached for achieving a common objective.
Although computer science is one of the modern ways of achieving artificial intelligence, there are can be many future ways for trying to simulate the human cognition.
