Hi,
In my several months of research on this wonderful subject(Quite an amateur research as you might conclude!), although
thorough you might say,i have collected various historical pieces of information and compiled for fun.although in fun,but
they are very amusing and interesting to study.
All the dates may not be correct,if not please tell me which one,i"ll rectify.
The following evolution dates have been compiled with the help of MIT web-servers and various other sites(which
includes,irbot,robot.net,NASA sites etc...)
i was thinking about a thread which could comprehensively cover the topic of History and evolution of AI in better
perspective and way.any comments,further corrections,clarifications are welcome.
