AI WINTER IS COMING

Thoughts about AI

While most of today AI "artificial intelligence" terms were coined in the 192o's so why do we see this current buzz and why is "AI" is strongly associated to "Innovation" in 2021?

​

AI main stream terms and definitions timeline:

• Artificial neural networks by Jane Robinson and Don Walker

• Artificial Intelligence coined in 1955 by Professor John McCarthy

• John Searle 1980 - Strong vs. weak AI)

• Heuristic Programming and Artificial Intelligence by Professor John McCarthy 1958

• Symbolic Reasoning Joel Moses (PhD work at MIT) 1968

• Artificial neural networks by Seppo Linnainmaa

​​

So why we need to take a step back and think about AI? an enterprise architect you to have a perspective for all your decisions or recommendations and this why we need to talk about AI. We embrace innovation, technology, knowledge etc but we do it in structured way

Recently i read this article https://towardsdatascience.com/history-of-the-first-ai-winter-6f8c2186f80b which explains the Artificial intelligence cycles, between Summer AI and Winter AI. We are in the summer AI, its an exciting time, long days, many opportunities to explore we are all out to enjoy the AI summer. But winter is coming soon. at least that what experts are saying​

​

So before winter comes, let's turn this AI opportunity into something that will last.

First, i feel it's important for an EA professional to "compartmentalize" what is AI from what is Data? There's a current entanglement and its not helping. Did you attend any AI presentation that end up showing predictive analytics or  forecasting? well, that's why a good classification is needed to leverage the best of two worlds
