The errors, insights and lessons of famous AI predictions
... Predictions about the future development of artificial intelligence (AI1 ) are as confident as they are diverse. Starting with Turing’s initial estimation of a 30% pass rate on Turing test by the year 2000 [Tur50], computer scientists, philosophers and journalists have never been shy to offer their ...
