Question

Consider the historic perspective of AI in terms of year of their development in increasing year :
A. Turing test

B. Expert systems

C. Perceptron

D. Analytical Engine

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

• A. D, A, C, B
• B. A, C, B, D
• C. D, A, B, C
• D. A, C, D, B

Hint:

Babbage's Engine is always first (Industrial Revolution era). Turing and Perceptrons are mid-20th century "pioneer" AI, and Expert Systems represent the "first boom" of applied AI in late 20th century.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept:
• Artificial Intelligence has evolved from mechanical computing theories to complex symbolic and neural network systems.
• Understanding the timeline helps identify how computational capacity paved the way for advanced AI models.

Step 1: Identify the era of the Analytical Engine (D)
Proposed by Charles Babbage in 1837, the Analytical Engine was the first design for a general-purpose mechanical computer. It is the earliest item in the list.

Step 2: Identify the era of the Turing Test (A)
Alan Turing published his seminal paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence" in 1950, which introduced the Turing Test as a benchmark for machine intelligence.

Step 3: Identify the era of the Perceptron (C)
The Perceptron, an early artificial neural network, was developed by Frank Rosenblatt in 1957.

Step 4: Identify the era of Expert Systems (B)
Expert systems (like DENDRAL and MYCIN) were developed and became commercially successful primarily during the 1970s and 1980s.

Step 5: Determine the increasing chronological order
D (1837) $\rightarrow$ A (1950) $\rightarrow$ C (1957) $\rightarrow$ B (1970s/80s).
