Eliza, who has been sleeping for more than 60 years, is the world's first chat robot. Finally, he reappears on the world with the joint efforts of AI historians and computer scientists. They successfully run Eliza on the original operating system. This amazing recovery process not only opened a window for us to spy the history of computer development, but also triggered a profound thinking about the essence of artificial intelligence. This is not only a technical breakthrough, but also a precious retrospective of the development of artificial intelligence.
More than 60 years after the dust was sealed, Eliza, the first chat robot in the world, finally saw the sun. A team consisting of AI historians and computer scientists successfully allowed the AI pioneer to re -operate on its original operating system, and opened a window to computer history for us.
This breakthrough began in 2021. When researchers discovered Joseph Weisen Bam's primitive Eliza code in the archives of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This precious discovery contains a complete DOCTOR script -Eliza enables Eliza to imitate the core program of Rogers's psychotherapy technology, which previously existed in the reappearance of modern programming languages.
The process of resurrection Eliza is full of challenges. The team needs to process the code with almost no document records of 2,600 lines, and run the program on the analog IBM7094 computer. During the repair process, the researchers accidentally discovered a little -known "teaching mode" before, allowing users to enter the "+" behavior of defining Eliza by entering "+". In order to maintain historical authenticity, the team even retains special defects that can collapse in the original program.
The historic Eliza chat robot showed her unique dialogue on the CTSS system. Interactive demonstrates typical treatment dialogue technology, where Eliza receives users' statements and feedback it as a problem.
The rebirth of Eliza is not only an important moment of computer history, but also triggers in -depth thinking about the essence of modern AI. It proposes a fundamental question: Does AI need to fully copy the process of human thinking in order to achieve intelligence? This problem is still important in the era of large language models such as ChatGPT today.
Researchers pointed out that Eliza was the first robot to reflect Turing test, creating a precedent for human -machine dialogue. Today, this concept is more enlightening than ever ever in the context of the rapid development of AI. The restored Eliza code has been released on GitHub for all those who are interested in computer history to explore this unique technical heritage.
Eliza's resurrection is not only a technical victory, but also a profound reflection on the history of artificial intelligence development. It reminds us that while pursuing more advanced AI, we should not forget the foundation of the foundation and the meaning behind them. The disclosure of this code also provides valuable reference value for future AI research.
