What exciting stories have happened in artificial intelligence along the way?

From a macro point of view, the history of artificial intelligence can be divided into two stages according to the methods used, and the watershed is probably the regression of 1986 neural network. In the first half of history, the methods and ideas we mainly use are rule-based methods, that is, trying to find ways for human beings to understand things, imitating human intelligence and thinking methods, and finding a set of methods to simulate the process of human thinking and solve the problems of artificial intelligence. In the second half of history, that is, the period in which we are now, we mainly adopt the method based on statistics, that is, we now find that sometimes we don't need to simulate the human thinking process into a set of rules to teach computers, but we can train computers in a large number of sets and let them find the rules themselves to complete the problems encountered by artificial intelligence. This transformation can also be described by an image example. Just like we want to build a plane, we just need to observe how birds fly and then imitate their movements. There is no need for aerodynamics or anything. This kind of thought is also called "bird flying school" in human history. But as we all know, the Wright brothers built airplanes by aerodynamics, not bionics. However, we can't laugh at the efforts and painstaking efforts of researchers and predecessors in the first half of artificial intelligence just because of this, because this is a universal law of human cognition. In fact, many people think that computers can read words and pictures by the same cognitive process as us. In the research based on rule exploration, artificial intelligence has experienced three main stages-rise, prosperity and depression. One of the important reasons for this process is the limitation of the rule-based method. Shanghai Zhongke Zhigu Artificial Intelligence Industry Research Institute was established on 20 16. It is an independent research institution with Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Fudan University as its core forces, engaged in research and development of artificial intelligence and related industries, transformation of Industry-University-Research and transformation and upgrading of traditional enterprises.
