| | <p>This is an incomplete list of early works we have found discussing AI or AI related problems.</p> |

| | <p>1. Claude Shannon (1950), in <a href="http://vision.unipv.it/IA1/ProgrammingaComputerforPlayingChess.pdf">Programming a Computer for Playing Chess</a>, offers the following list of “possible developments in the immediate future,”</p> |
| | </HTML> |
| | |
| | |
| | <HTML> |
| | <ul> |
| | <li><div class="li">Machines for designing filters, equalizers, etc</div></li> |
| | <li><div class="li">Machines for designing relay and switching circuits</div></li> |
| | <li><div class="li">Machines which will handle routing of telephone calls based on the individual circumstances rather than by fixed patterns</div></li> |
| | <li><div class="li">Machines for performing symbolic (non-numerical) mathematical operations</div></li> |
| | <li><div class="li">Machines capable of translating from one language to another</div></li> |
| | <li><div class="li">Machines for making strategic decisions in simplified military operations</div></li> |
| | <li><div class="li">Machines capable of orchestrating a melody</div></li> |
| | <li><div class="li">Machines capable of logical deduction</div></li> |
| | </ul> |

| | <p>2. The <a href="http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/history/dartmouth/dartmouth.html">proposal</a> for Dartmouth conference on AI offers the following “aspects of the artificial intelligence project”:</p> |
| | </HTML> |
| | |
| | |
| | <HTML> |
| | <ul> |
| | <li><div class="li">Automatic computers. This appears to be an application rather than an aspect of the problem; if you can describe how to do a task precisely, it can be automated.</div></li> |
| | <li><div class="li">How Can a Computer be Programmed to Use a Language</div></li> |
| | <li><div class="li">How can a set of (hypothetical) neurons be arranged so as to form concepts</div></li> |
| | <li><div class="li">Theory of the size of a calculation</div></li> |
| | <li><div class="li">Self-improvement</div></li> |
| | <li><div class="li">Abstractions. “A direct attempt to classify these and to describe machine methods of forming abstractions from sensory and other data would seem worthwhile.”</div></li> |
| | <li><div class="li">Randomness and creativity</div></li> |
| | </ul> |
