The Big Data-Driven Digital Economy: Artificial and Computational Intelligence

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 974))

Abstract

Artificial’ ability the term artificial intelligence (AI) was first coined by John McCarthy in 1956 when he had the initial theoretical meeting on this topic. But this journey to see if machines will really believe started much before this. Five years later Alan Turing published the article on this idea of machines being able to imitate human race and the ability to do intelligent things, e.g., play chess. Yet, most people be uncertain about the purpose of AI. What if he produces the AI that has the only aim of estimating the amount of Pi, but has decided that by getting earthly death and giving human lives, it could gain another digit to its collection of digits efficiently? Therefore, the entire idea of knowing in machines is unlikely. The only plausible explanation of the power to philosophize, emotionally interact with humans and reason motivation is artificial awareness.
