| With the advent of computers and binary number coding, suddenly there was a spurt of interest in intelligent machines. But real research work started in 1950’s by Alan Turing, who introduced the Turing test that predicts whether a machine is an intelligent or not. His test had some conditions though, which limited his theory. |
|
| The first working artificially intelligent program was written by Christopher Strachey for a machine known as Ferranti Mark I. The term artificial intelligence was coined by John McCarthy. Another pioneer John von Neumann developed the game theory, which helped the scientists working on artificial intelligence. |

| As time progressed, serious research was conducted to develop knowledge-based programs in mathematics, pattern recognition programs and automatic vehicles that can avoid obstacles. |
|
| Very recently, Deep Blue, a Chess computer program played against Chess champion Garry Kasparov. Humanoid Robots are also being developed and commercialized in the last few years. Today you can get answers to your queries by using websites such as google.com and askjeeves.com. |
