In order to use ordinary concepts like "chair" or "restaurant" they had to make all the same illogical assumptions that people normally made.
4 days ago · In 1970 computer scientist Marvin Minsky predicted that soon-to-be-developed machines would “read Shakespeare, grease a car, play office politics, tell a joke, have a fight.”
2 days ago · However, the excitement was short-lived. In 1969, Marvin Minsky and Seymour Papert published a book titled “Perceptrons,” which highlighted the limitations of the perceptron, particularly its inability to solve non-linearly separable problems, such as the XOR problem.
1 day ago · Computer scientist Marvin Minsky wrote on relationships between human and artificial intelligence beginning in the 1960s. Over the succeeding decades, this field continued to generate influential thinkers, such as Hans Moravec and Ray Kurzweil, who oscillated between the technical arena and futuristic speculations in the transhumanist vein.

3 days ago · The term “artificial intelligence” was coined in 1956 during a seminal seminar at Dartmouth College, with Marvin Minsky emerging as one of the field’s pioneers. In his 1960 paper, Steps Toward Artificial Intelligence, Minsky described AI as a “general problem-solving machine,” proposing methods for training AI that anticipated modern ...
