Greek Robot Legend: In today’s era, Artificial Intelligence i.e. AI humans Doing even the most complex tasks in minutes. From health, education, defense to entertainment, AI has completely changed the world of technology. It is generally believed that AI began in the 1950s, but the pages of history tell a different story. Many scholars believe that humans had imagined AI about 2500 years ago.
Professor Noel Sharkey of the University of Sheffield, Research Scholar Adrienne Mayer of Stanford University, Stephen Cave of the University of Cambridge and Professor Tom S. Experts like Mulaney believe that AI-like thinking already existed in ancient civilizations. According to these scholars, humans had long ago imagined mechanical creatures that could think and take decisions on their own.
The natural question is whether it was only imagined at that time or had something like AI already started? According to an ET report, Adrienne Meyer says that the thinking power of humans had long ago given rise to concepts like AI. There is mention of self-driving machines and robot-like creatures in the works of ancient Greek poets Hesiod and Homer. This poet belonged to the period around 750 to 650 BC.
The world’s first robot is named Talos in Greek mythology. According to Hesiod’s legends, Hephaestus, the god of metals and inventions, created a giant bronze robot named Talos. Talos was not just a statue, but could move on his own, recognize danger, and take his own decisions. This is why many experts consider it to be an early form of modern AI.
According to Greek mythology, Talos had a special vein in his body, which contained “Ichor” The divine liquid of name was flowing. This vein ran to his heel and there was his only weakness. Today’s scientists believe that “Icor” It can be like a processor or central logic system. It is said that Talos was defeated not by strength but by intelligence which in today’s language can also be called hacking.
According to legend Talos was deployed to defend the island of Crete. He recognized the threat, analyzed it and took immediate action. The same process is also seen in today’s AI systems. This is why many scholars believe that humans had glimpsed the concept of AI as early as 2500 years ago.
