The Fifth Generation - Present and Beyond: Artificial Intelligence

⇐ Предыдущая12345678910Следующая ⇒


The fifth generation computing devices, based on artificial intelligence, are still in development, though there are some applications, such as voice recognition, that are being used today. Artificial Intelligence is the branch of computer science concerned with making computers behave like humans. The term was coined in 1956 by John McCarthy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
