Artificial intelligence revisited

Artificial intelligence is a very interesting topic. It was what I originally wanted to do for my end of quarter project, but instead choose to focus on a more specific branch of artificial intelligence in Self Driving Cars. Part of what makes artificial intelligence so interesting is the threat artificial intelligence can pose to mankind. In fact, some major names in the technology world such as Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and Stephen Hawking all believe that artificial intelligence is the greatest threat to mankind. The first person to really push for the fact that artificial intelligence exists and can be seen I Alan Turing. He made the Turing test which tests if artificial intelligence is intelligent. The first test was able to be passed if the robot could act like a human in a conversation. From 1964 to 1966 Joseph Weizenbaum created the A>I> ELIZA to disprove the Turing test but ended up proving it with ELIZA. Marvin Lee Minsky is a scientist and professor who researched artificial intelligence and wrote reports about it and pushed for studying it more at this time. At one point after this the Turing test said artificial intelligence was intelligent if it could beat a human at chess, this later then evolved into jeopardy after it could beat a human at chess. The Turing test would then evolve to say something else is what truly proved Intelligent in artificial intelligence each time it was beat. People imagined artificial intelligence as things like HAL 9000 form a Space Odyssey in 1968, then as time went on people imagined artificial intelligence as actual humans like in Ex Machina in 2014 and as machines like GLaDOS from portal and portal 2 in 2007 and 2011 respectively. Today Artificial intelligence has come to the point where we have robots like Sophia that act and think like a human.
