Artificial Intelligence
Details
The goal of creating non-biological intelligence has been with us for a long time, predating the nominal 1956 establishment of the field of artificial intelligence by centuries or, under some definitions, even by millennia. For much of this history it was reasonable to recast the goal of “creating” intelligence as that of “designing” intelligence.
For example, it would have been reasonable in the 17th century, as Leibnitz was writing about reasoning as a form of calculation, to think that the process of creating artificial intelligence would have to be something like the process of creating a waterwheel or a pocket watch: first understand the principles, then use human intelligence to devise a design based on the principles, and finally build a system in accordance with the design.
