Abstract

Everywhere we look today, we observe Artificial Intelligence (AI), but this has not always been the case. Even though the applications of AI have become mainline during the last decades, it has quite an interesting history and has not been called AI until in the 1950s. Long before, already in the 17th century some mathematicians and natural philosophers started discussing about automating the process of thinking. Since then, these ideas grew slowly and were considered quite controversial. With the introduction of computers in the previous century, more people began to look into the ideas of automating thinking. Since then the AI field has seen various ups and downs, but as recent as the beginning of this century there has been a huge increase in interest due to the availability of a lot of metadata. This paper presents the most important achievements of AI from the beginning till now.
