See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Quite a bit, actually. In 'Computing machinery and intelligence.', Alan Turing, one of the founders of computer science, made the claim that by the year 2000, computers would be able to pass the Turing test at a reasonably sophisticated level, in particular, that the average interrogator would not be able to identify the computer correctly more than 70 per cent of the time after a five minute conversation. AI hasn't quite lived upto Turing's claims, but quite a bit of progress has been made, including: - Deployed speech dialog systems by firms like IBM, Dragon and Lernout&Hauspie - Applications of expert systems/case-based reasoning: a computerized Lukemia diagnosis system did a better job checking for blood disorders than human experts! - Machine translation for Environment Canada: software developed in the 1970s translated natural language weather forcasts between English and French. Purportedly stil in use. - Deep Blue, the first computer to beat the human chess Grandmaster - Fuzzy controllers in dishwashers, etc. One persistent 'problem' is that as soon as an AI technique trully succeeds, in the minds of many it ceases to be AI, becoming something else entirely. For example, when Deep Blue defeated Kasparov, there were many who said Deep Blue wasn't AI, since after all it was just a brute force parallel minimax search (!) ref: Alan M. Turing.
