The term “artificial intelligence” was coined in 1956 by cognitive and computer scientist John McCarthy – about a decade after the first proto-neural network architectures were created. In subsequent interviews McCarthy is very clear about why he invented the term. First, he didn’t want to include the mathematician and philosopher Norbert Wiener in a workshop he was hosting that summer. You see, Wiener had already coined the term “cybernetics,” under whose umbrella the field was then organized. McCarthy wanted to create his own field, not to contribute to Norbert’s – which is how you become the “father” instead of a dutiful disciple. […] Secondly, McCarthy wanted grant money. And he thought the phrase “artificial intelligence” was catchy enough to attract such funding from the US government'.</p><p>Meredith Whittaker acceptance speech: <a href="https://www.helmut-schmidt.de/en/news-1/detail/the-prizewinners-speech" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">helmut-schmidt.de/en/news-1/de</span><span class="invisible">tail/the-prizewinners-speech</span></a></p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/metrics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>metrics</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/probabilities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>probabilities</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ModelCalibration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelCalibration</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/MachineLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MachineLearning</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ML</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ethics</span></a></p>
