analysis in strategy games (e.g., chess and Go).

However, many AI applications are not perceived


as AI: "A lot of cutting edge AI has filtered into general applications, often without being called
AI because once something becomes useful enough and common enough it's not labeled AI
anymore."[2][3]

Various subfields of AI research are centered around particular goals and the use of particular
tools. The traditional goals of AI research include reasoning, knowledge
representation, planning, learning, natural language processing, perception, and support
for robotics.[a] General intelligence—the ability to complete any task performed by a human on
an at least equal level—is among the field's long-term goals.[4] To reach these goals, AI
researchers have adapted and integrated a wide range of techniques,
including search and mathematical optimization, formal logic, artificial neural networks, and
methods based on statistics, operations research, and economics.[b] AI also draws
upon psychology, linguistics, philosophy, neuroscience, and other fields.[5]

Artificial intelligence was founded as an academic discipline in 1956,[6] and the field went
through multiple cycles of optimism throughout its history,[7][8] followed by periods of
disappointment and loss of funding, known as AI winters.[9][10] Funding and interest vastly
increased after 2012 when deep learning outperformed previous AI techniques.[11] This growth
accelerated further after 2017 with the transformer architecture,[12] and by the early 2020s
many billions of dollars were being invested in AI and the field experienced rapid
ongoing progress in what has become known as the AI boom. The emergence of advanced
generative AI in the midst of the AI boom and its ability to create and modify content exposed
several unintended consequences and harms in the present and raised concerns about the risks
of AI and its long-term effects in the future, prompting discussions about regulatory policies to
ensure the safety and benefits of the technology.
