Lighthill controversy...

[dasari4kntr]

The Lighthill controversy arose in the 1970s when Sir James Lighthill was commissioned by the British government to evaluate the progress and future prospects of AI research. In 1973, Lighthill published the "Lighthill Report," which criticized the AI research community for overpromising and underdelivering. The report argued that AI research had not made significant progress and was unlikely to achieve its ambitious goals.

As a result of the Lighthill Report, the British government reduced funding for AI research, leading to what is now known as the "AI winter" in the UK. Many researchers in the AI community disagreed with Lighthill's assessment, arguing that he was too pessimistic and that AI research had made important advances. This disagreement became known as the Lighthill controversy.

The controversy has historical significance because it highlights the challenges that AI research faced during its early years and the skepticism that the field had to overcome. Today, AI has made remarkable progress, and many of the goals that seemed overly ambitious in the 1970s have now been achieved or are within reach.

core concept was there...in some fiction novels...

transisters, state management like finite automata and some advanced maths was already there......they might have thought it...
