作者:禅与计算机程序设计艺术

背景介绍

1.1 人工智能的概述

自从人类开始探索计算能力以来,人们一直在思考一个基本但是十分复杂的问题:“机器能思考吗?” 尽管自 computing machinery and intelligence 这篇由英国计算机科学家亚伯拉罕·马尔科夫(Alan Turing)在1950年发表后,这个问题一直备受关注,但直到今天我们仍然没有找到一个完美的答案。

1.2 人工智能的演变

自1956年第一个人工智能会议(Dartmouth Conference)以来,人工智能一直是计算机科学领域的热点话题。在过去的60多年里,人工智能的发展经历了几个阶段:

  • 符号主义时期(1956-1974):研究人员认为人工智能可以通过符号处理来实现。
  • AI冬天(1974-1980):由于投资过快、缺乏可靠的成果和人工智能技术的不成熟等因素,导致人工智能领域陷入了困境。
  • 专家系统时期(1980-1988):人们开始尝试将人类专业知识编码成规则,以此来构建专家系统。
  • 人工智能复兴(1988-2012):通过统计学方法和机器学习算法,人工智能领域得到了飞速的发展。
  • 深度学习时代(2012-现在):通过深度神经网络等技术,人工智能领域取得了巨大的进步,特别是在图像识别、语音识别和自然语言处理等领域取得了突破性的进展。

1.3 人工智能与计算

在计算的世界里,人工智能被视为计算的极限。它利用计算机模拟人类的思维过程,并通过各种算法和模型来实现人类的智能能力。虽然人工智能技术取得了巨大的进步,但是人类仍在思考机器是否能真正实现思考。
