Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science that attempts to understand the nature of intelligence and produce a new intelligent machine that can respond in a similar way to human intelligence, including robotics, language recognition, image recognition, natural language processing, and expert systems. It is a cutting-edge science involving multiple disciplines, and its research results have a wide range of application prospects.
1. Human evolution
Humans originated in Africa about 2.5 million years ago and evolved over a long period of time, from Homo sapiens to Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens is the best among humans, it has a highly developed brain organization, language ability, abstract thinking ability and reasoning ability, etc., they are able to make tools, farm and hunt. Since Homo sapiens, the range of human activities has gradually expanded to the whole world. They began to learn to use fire for heating, cooking and lighting, as well as to make weapons and tools. Humans entered the Bronze Age from the primitive Stone Age and made complex bronzes out of bronze. Due to the rapid growth of the population, with less and less food and shelter, humanity has had to find new living space. In order to survive, mankind had to go out of Africa and began a long migration road. From Africa to Asia, from Asia to Europe, from Europe to North America.
Second, artificial intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a new technical science that studies and develops theories, methods, technologies and application systems for simulating, extending and expanding human intelligence. It is a branch of computer science that attempts to understand the nature of intelligence and produce a new intelligent machine that can respond in a similar way to human intelligence, including robotics, language recognition, image recognition, natural language processing, and expert systems. With the development of computer hardware and software technology, artificial intelligence has been widely used in various fields.
Third, the machine age
Artificial intelligence is the crystallization of human intelligence, and with the continuous development of science and technology, the application field of artificial intelligence will become more and more extensive. For example, intelligent manufacturing, unmanned driving, robots, etc. The future development prospects of artificial intelligence are immeasurable and will surely change our lives in many fields.
From the perspective of historical development, our country is undergoing a transformation process from an industrial society to an information society and a smart society. Among them, the information society is composed of three eras: industrial society, agricultural society and information society. In the process of transforming from an industrial society to an information society, more and more new technologies, products, industries and occupations will emerge. In the information age, artificial intelligence will become an important development direction, and it is inevitable to realize the era of artificial intelligence.
Fourth, the era of big data
The era of big data has quietly arrived, data is everywhere, without data, many problems cannot be solved. Today, artificial intelligence has become a mainstream development trend. Artificial intelligence relies on data very highly, and big data is the foundation and premise of artificial intelligence. The transition from artificial intelligence to the era of big data also means that artificial intelligence is about to usher in a big change.
5. Looking to the future
With the continuous development of artificial intelligence technology, its application range is becoming more and more extensive, from the medical field to daily life, from the military field to industrial production, there will be artificial intelligence technology. However, artificial intelligence also has many shortcomings, and there are still uncertainties in dealing with some problems, such as difficulty in dealing with extreme cases. Therefore, the future development of artificial intelligence technology still requires our continuous attention and research.
