Historically however AI didn't mean a neural net specifically.
- simonw 2y agoYeah, historically AI incorporates most of modern computer science, dating back to the 1950s.
- varjag 2y agoNo, not really. If you compare proceedings of even the earliest AI and CS conferences it is clearly not the case.
- simonw 2y agoCan you expand on that with some examples or links?
- simonw 2y agoI dug into this a tiny but and learned that the ACM started having conferences in the early 1950s - https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/30408.30418 https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/30408.30418 - while the famous Dartmouth workshop that coined the term AI was later, in 1956. So I agree, it looks like computer science was already establishing itself as a discipline before the term AI started to be used.
- varjag 2y agoThere's been some overlap naturally, e.g. Yershov or Hopper attending both types events early on. But hardly any of content in say TAoCP was considered AI at any point.
