There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

Result: Consensus to delist. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 08:28, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The talk page of this 2008 listing was tagged by SandyGeorgia as requiring a GAR; I must agree. The article has not been updated to the sufficient standard after 2010; this is especially egregious considering the massive leaps in AI over the last decade.

Thus, I'll tag it as needing an {{update}}, and nominate this for delisting as failing GA criterion 3. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 18:50, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that this article needs huge amounts of work and updating to be at standard. Should be delisted unless someone takes that on. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:21, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

agree, should be delisted. Section for 2011 is really outdated and needs a huge amount of work Artem.G (talk) 06:21, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delist. Needs significant effort. If anyone steps forward to work on this article, please ping me. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 13:28, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

19th century fiction

Shouldn't E. T. A. Hoffman's stories ( The Sandman (1816) and Automata (1814) ) be mentioned? Kdammers (talk) 21:08, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, this article has too many fictional and mythological precursors already. CharlesTGillingham (talk) 08:44, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AI has surpassed human intelligence in some specific fields

Why is it no relevant?

By 2023, generative artificial intelligence has already surpassed human intelligence in some specific areas such as the search for new proteins and strategy games.^[1] 176.200.82.175 (talk) 08:33, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

References

^ "The scientists' appeal". A paper by work of various university researchers ... in very narrow fields such as protein folding or strategy games, AI has surpassed human capabilities.

I think this belongs in the article progress in artificial intelligence. This article is very long and we can only cover the most notable developments. ---- CharlesTGillingham (talk) 02:29, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the article needs a major overhaul in the sections post-2010. This source may turn out to be useful in a rewrite. ---- CharlesTGillingham (talk) 02:29, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cut for brevity / lack of notability

None of the major overviews (Russell & Norvig, McCorduck, Crevier, Nilsson, Newquist) mention WABOT, as far as I know. ---- CharlesTGillingham (talk) 19:56, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

====Automata====

In Japan, Waseda University initiated the WABOT project in 1967, and in 1972 completed the WABOT-1, the world's first full-scale "intelligent" humanoid robot,^[1]^[2] or android. Its limb control system allowed it to walk with the lower limbs, and to grip and transport objects with hands, using tactile sensors. Its vision system allowed it to measure distances and directions to objects using external receptors, artificial eyes and ears. Its conversation system allowed it to communicate with a person in Japanese, with an artificial mouth.^[3]^[4]^[5]

Cut this as well for brevity. I'm under the impression that specialized hardware did not have last influence and wasn't widely used. Most work was on digital computers and the most influential work of the time (1980s) was theoretical.

The development of metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) very-large-scale integration (VLSI), in the form of complementary MOS (CMOS) technology, enabled the development of practical artificial neural network technology in the 1980s.

A landmark publication in the field was the 1989 book Analog VLSI Implementation of Neural Systems by Carver A. Mead and Mohammed Ismail.^[1]

Protein structure prediction

There is one domain where Deep learning (not yet called that) was successful as early as the end of 1980s, the prediction of protein structures. People like Terry Sejnowski started to use neural net to predict secondary structures

N Qian, TJ Sejnowski (1988) Predicting the secondary structure of globular proteins using neural network models. Journal of molecular biology, 202 (4): 865-884 (cited 1700 times)

And in 1993, Rost and Sander proposed a cascading neural net structure, PHD, that basically killed the field by reaching theoretical maximum accuracy.

Rost, Burkhard, and Chris Sander (1993) Improved prediction of protein secondary structure by use of sequence profiles and neural networks. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 90.16: 7558-7562. (cited 3900 times)

(well, the absolute best was actually PsiPred, an improvement by David Jones a bit later, using profile matrices rather than multiple sequence alignments

McGuffin, Liam J., Kevin Bryson, and David T. Jones (2000) The PSIPRED protein structure prediction server." Bioinformatics 16.4: 404-405. (cited > 4000 times)).
