history of the internet and artificial intelligence

what is ARPANET

what is a computer

a programmable machine that processes digital information

what is data mining

analyzing data to find patterns and information about users

what is the deep web

internet content not found through regular search engines, such as online banking and private databases

what is the dark web

a part of the internet accessed using specialized software, such as Tor.

what is the difference between the deep web and dark web

the deep web includes private content, the dark web requires specialized tools to access

what is email

electronic messages sent between computers over a network

when was the first network email sent?

1971

what was gutenbergs printing press

a machine that made printing books faster and easier

when was gutenbergs printing press developed

around 1450

what is the internet

a worldwide network of connected computer networks

how was the internet created

it developed from research networks such as ARPANET, funded by the US government

what does decentralized internet mean

no single authority controls the entire internet

what are TCP/IP

protocols that allow computers to communicate and transfer data over networks

what is the world wide web

a collection of linked web pages accessed through the internet

when was the world wide web developed

around 1989-1991

what is the difference between the internet and the web

the internet connects computers, the web contains linked pages that use the internet

what is a mobile phone

a portable device used to communicate through cellular networks

what is artificial intelligence

technology that allows computers to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence

what is cloud computing

storing data and using computing services through remote internet connected servers

what is bandwidth

the amount of data a network can transfer in a given amount of time

what is the world wide web used for

accessing and sharing information through linked websites

what is a URL

the address of a resource on the web

what happened in 1995 to the internet

NSFNET funding ended, and commercial internet services expanded.

what caused the explosion of interest in AI in 2022

openai released chatgpt and dall-e to the public, and people rapidly began using Ai tools

what does verdegem say we need to understand about Ai

what ai is and is not, how it works, its benefits, and its challenges

who first proposed using binary numbers to explain human reasoning

gottfried wilhelm leibniz

who developed a machine that used binary numbers to perform calculations

alan turing developed the theoretical automatic computing machine. binary uses 0s and 1s, which are fundamental to digital computers

which countries competed to fund ai research in the early 1980s

japan, the united states, and the soviet union

which movie contains the phrase “would you like to play a game”

wargames

which movie made the red pill and blue pill famous

the matrix

what was the first ai winter

a period from around 1974 to 1980 when AI progress disappointed researchers and funding decreased.

what caused the first AI winter

limited computer memory, slow processing speeds, and Ai systems that failed to meet expectations

what was the second ai winter

a period of reduced AI funding and interest in the late 1980s and early 1990s after AI systems failed to meet expectations

what was the analytical engine, and who designed it

charles babbage designed it as a proposed programmale mechanical computer. Ada Lovelace developed algorithms for it.

why was the analytical engine important

it introduced ideas behind programmable, general purpose computers

what is bayes theorem

a mathematical method for updating the probability of something based on new evidence and previous information

what is boolean logic

a system of logic based on true/false values, developed by George Boole.

what is chatgpt

an Ai chatbot developed by openAI that can generate text and answer questions.

what is combinatorial explosion

when the number of possible combinations grows extremely quickly as a problem becomes more complex.

what is computer vision

an area of AI that allows computers to analyze and understand images

what is DALL-E

an Ai system developed by openai that generates images from text descriptions

what was ELIZA

an early chatbot created by Joseph Weizenbaum that stimulated conversation with humans

what are expert systems

AI programs that use stored knowledge and rules to solve specific problems

what is imagenet

a large labeled image database used to train and test AI systems that recognize objects in pictures.

why was imagenet important in 2009

it provided millions of labeled images to help train AI image recognition systems

what was Alexnet, and why was it important in 2012

a neural network that won the imagenet competition and greatly reduced image recognition errors. helping advance modern ai

what is openai

the ai research and development company behind chatgpt and dall-e

what was John Searle’s chinese room thought experiment

a thought experiment arguing that a computer can manipulate symbols without truly understanding their meaning.

what did alan turing say about machine intelligence

he proposed judging a machine by whether it could imitate human conversation well enough to fool a person

what is the Turing test

a test of whether a machine can imitate human responses well enough that a person cannot reliably tell it apart from. a human

what happened at the dartmouth summer reseatch project in 1956

researchers gathered to study artifiical intelligence, helping establish Ai as a seperate field. John McCarthy is credited with coining the term artificial intelligence

why is the dartmouth project important

it is widely considered the birthplace of ai as a formal research field

what was the fifth generation computer project

it failed to meet its ambitious goals because ai technology and systems were not advanced enough

how did the internet help Ai develop in the 1990s and 2000s

it increased access to data and computing resources, helping researchers develop and train better AI systems

what was the darpa grand challenge

a competition for autonomous vehicles that helped increase interest in self driving car technology

why was the 2012 alexnet breakthrough important for ai

it showed the neural networks trained or large image datasets could greatly improve image recognition

when did alan turing publish computing machinery and intelligence

1950

when was the dartmouth summer research projecy

1956

when was the early expert systems and ELIZA created

1960s

when was the first AI winter

1974-1980
