Multiple Intelligences

Before starting Artificial Intelligence, a good step forward is understanding the different kinds of intelligence. Howard Gardner, was the one who founded this theory, and ever since, people have tried to integrate that to their own ideas.

Turing?

Alan Turing, a man who was deeply involved in Artificial Intelligence, created the Turing Test. This test is a procedure to see if a computer could be humanlike.

Tracing

Hold on! Didn’t we make Python speak to us before? That’s right, we did something similar before, the number guessing game! Apparently, those were the basic strings in the coding. Moving onto responses, it was easy to make a list of answers it could give us. But how could we make a certain answer appear?

Keywords

Half the questions we asked, the response didn’t make any sense? So we had to make chatbot recognize, words and or phrases, to give appropriate responses.

Talking? Wow!

This time, we gave chatbot a voice. A really obvious non-human voice. Woohoo!

Factbot

Similar to our chatbot, but Factbot was programmed with WolfRamAlpha. It took a bit of signing up and getting an AppID. But we got it to answer some questions that were truly factual. We even threw in speech to text! We wanted to speak to Factbot, and have it talk back to us.

Watson

We also learned about Watson, an artificial intelligence that defeated two champions in the game of Jeopardy!
