To learn about the views of three posters. 4. To think objectively when discussing a controversial issue. Learning objectives Read the facts and answer the questions. 1. What can you learn from the timeline 2. Are you concerned about developments in AI Why or why not 3. How do you think AI will develop in the future Milestones in Artificial Intelligence (AI) 1955 Mathematician and logician, Alan Turing devised(发明) the Turing Test, a test on the ability of machines to show human-like intelligence. Computer scientist, John McCarthy coined the term “artificial intelligence”. 1950 coin：创造（新词语） 图灵测试（The Turing test）由艾伦·麦席森·图灵提出，指测试者与被测试者（一个人和一台机器）隔开的情况下，通过一些装置（如键盘）向被测试者随意提问。进行多次测试后，如果机器让平均每个参与者做出超过30%的误判，那么这台机器就通过了测试，并被认为具有人类智能。 John McCarthy（1927年9月4日-2011年10月24日），1927年9月4日生于美国波士顿，计算机科学家与认知科学家。被称为“人工智能之父”。 Milestones in Artificial Intelligence (AI) 1955 1972 2001 Mathematician and logician, Alan Turing devised(发明) the Turing Test, a test on the ability of machines to show human-like intelligence. Computer scientist, John McCarthy coined the term “artificial intelligence”. Shakey, the first mobile robot able to make decisions, according to reason, was completed. The Electrolux Trilobite, the first robotic vacuum(清扫) cleaner designed for home use, went on sale. 1950 “Shakey” was the first mobile robot with the ability to perceive and reason about itssurroundings. It was a mobile robot with cameras and touch sensors, controlled by a large remote computer. The Electrolux Trilobite is a robotic vacuum cleaner manufactured by the Swedish corporation Electrolux. It takes its name from the extinct arthropod, which scoured the ocean’s floor.
