Understanding the Science Behind Artificial Intelligence
It's Time to Uncover and Apply For centuries, electricity was thought to be the domain of sorcerers, and magicians who perplexed audiences as to where it did come from and how it was engendered. Although Ben Franklin and his colleagues were all well conscious of the phenomenon when he demonstrated the connection between both electricity and lightning in 1752, he had difficulty imagining a practical application for it. His more prized invention, the lightning rod, has more to do with ignoring electricity. All new inventions are subjected to a similar system of rejection, avoidance, fear, and, possibly, acceptance. Just about two centuries after Franklin's lightning experiment, the man had been habitually harnessing power, despite our lack of complete knowledge of its origins. The Lineman's Handbook of 1928 begins, "What is electricity?" Nobody knows." Understanding the composition of electricity, however, was not important, according to this guidebook for ear...
