Description
This transcript from Day 1, Session 2 of the AI Expert Systems Pioneer Meeting covers the technology foundations of the AI and expert systems fields and the work that occurred in the 1950s and 1960s.The participants discuss the pre-expert system landscape and the work of the field’s founders: Marvin Minsky, John McCarthy, Allen Newell, and Herb Simon. They also talk about the parallel fields that branched off from this early work, such as operations research (OR) and optical character recognition (OCR). The topics covered include a broad discussion of the types of problems AI and expert systems were trying to solve, the various approaches to solving those problems, and how each of those evolved during this foundational period.
