The changing AI landscape
The HinduFrench philosopher Rene Descartes, in his Discourse on Method, made the famous philosophical statement: Cogito, ergo sum. In his seminal paper, titled ‘Computing Machinery and Intelligence ’, Turing redefined the meaning of “think” and “machine” with a thought experiment, called “imitation game”. “I believe that in about fifty years’ time it will be possible to programme computers, with a storage capacity of about 109, to make them play the imitation game so well, that an average interrogator will not have more than 70% chance of making the right identification after five minutes of questioning,” Turing predicted in the paper. In 1997, Deep Blue, IBM’s chess-playing supercomputer, defeated the reigning world champion Garry Kasparov in a six-match game in New York City. “The AlphaGo is unique in its ability of relating the immediate action with the final outcome of the game through its value network, providing a mechanism for closed-loop feedback in decision-making,” according to a research paper titled ‘Where Does AlphaGo Go: From Church-Turing Thesis to AlphaGo Thesis and Beyond’.
