Study Notes
Claude Elwood Shannon
- Developed information theory, providing a mathematical framework for communication.
- Influenced AI foundations by modeling intelligence as information processing.
- Limitation: His view reduced human intelligence to informational processes, neglecting emotional and contextual aspects.
Marvin Lee Minsky
- Revolutionized AI by exploring neural networks, learning algorithms, and cognitive systems.
- Multidisciplinary approach inspired the "Society of Mind" concept.
- Limitation: His ambition to simulate human intelligence is criticized for simplifying complex human capabilities.
John McCarthy
- Coined the term "AI."
- Developed a logical and mathematical approach to programming AI.
- Limitation: His emphasis on formal logic disregarded intuitive and irrational aspects of human reasoning.
Alan Turing
- Introduced the Turing Test (imitation game) to assess machine human-like thinking.
- Proposed computers could mimic all human cognitive processes.
- Limitation: Binary evaluation focus (success or failure) and undefined human thought/intelligence.
Norbert Wiener
- Founder of cybernetics, conceptualized feedback's role in intelligent behavior.
- Highlighted ethical implications of advanced technologies.
- Limitation: Warned against uncontrolled technology use, but ethical calls were sometimes abstract.
