This chapter details the historical development of artificial intelligence (AI). The author explores how ancient Greek philosophers like Aristotle laid the groundwork for logical reasoning, and how mathematicians like Al-Khwarizmi and Bayes contributed significantly to the development of algorithms. The text then highlights the influence of early modern philosophers, including Leibniz and Descartes, and later, the crucial role of psychologists like Pavlov and Hull in shaping the foundations of AI. The author emphasizes the importance of the first computers, including the Analytical Engine and El Ajedrecista, as well as the impact of the Turing Test on our understanding of intelligence. The text concludes with a discussion of the Von Neumann architecture, a key development in computer design that continues to influence modern computers.
