In the 65 years since the Dartmouth seminar, which initiated the development of artificial intelligence, there have been many breakthroughs in this field; however, we are still far from creating a machine with "human" intelligence. Today, AI recognizes images and translates speech, controls autonomous vehicles, beats humans at chess and Go, but is still unable to transfer skills to new tasks, can confuse salt with road markings, and a bus with an ostrich. Melanie Mitchell, one of the leading computer scientists, introduces the reader to the history of AI development and the principles of its operation, discusses the main challenges of its application, and the prospects for creating "human-level" AI.
