The Interactive History of AI Wiki
As a new
student to the topic of Artificial Intelligence, it is important to know who
and what was contributed to the field of AI as we know it today. In essence we need to know its history. The contributions of AI researchers in the
past paved the way for our current approaches to the topic. In order to immerse ourselves into the rich
history of AI, we, as a class, will create an interactive wiki that explains
and illustrates this history. As you can
see below, I have broken the timeline of AI history into several spans of
time. You will organize yourselves into
six groups. Each group will be
responsible for describing the significant events of AI during that time. Be creative.
You may include pictures, links to web sites, and videos to illustrate
your era. Each group will be graded on
the quality of the work submitted. Use
the article, A Brief History of AI as
your template as to what is important to include in your Wiki page. Chapter 1 in your text also has a nice
overview of the history of AI
In addition
to the main era's listed below, there is a "What's new and cool"
section. Each of you is required to post
add an item about an event, program, robot, machine, etc., that is current and in some way is related to
AI. You must describe your object and
state how it is related to AI and how it contributes to the field. Again be creative. Use pictures, videos, web links, etc.
DO NOT COPY
FROM OTHER WEB SITES
Give proper
references for your sources.

Part II - As
a group, create 5 short answer questions on the content in your WIKI page. I
would like everyone to read your page.
Therefore, I will collate all these and they will become an additional HW
assignment for this project.
