Blog Entry: Dick Gabriel on Lisp

Artificial Intelligence is now an essential part for technology, equipment and even some electronic services uses AI, not even for remembering, but to work in a way where human is not able to work with complex issues or problems. For this, having a language like LISP is the exact reflect of that statement, a programming language helps to create wonderful things that goes from making mathematical operations to create complex programs, maybe for a web server.

LISP is a tool that shows that a programming language can be used for other things and not only to create maybe a program or a service, AI is the answer for it, we could see it with as a beginning or the origins for the Artificial Intelligence, Macros, predefined programs or even neuronal links, they tried to learn some basic patterns or even from interactions until they are able or capable to provide an answer or a precise solution.

As an example, playing chess with a computer or even with the essence of an AI is a good challenge, not only because they can make some movements that a person could not consider on his turn, but the way they can reach this kind of skill is practicing or even beginning with different games levels they start like a human learning the most basic actions followed by the most complex movements that a professional player could make, the AI learns movements and also begins with loses, but at the same time acquires experience so it’s able to become smarter and smarter with the time.

I would consider that technology with this tools already created new stuff that on a future time AI could be part for everything, to solve complex issues, even create a possible robot, a tangible one that is able to move and also to be part of everyday life, yes I sound like Asimov novel "I, Robot" but looking at what we already created I think that this is not too far away from reality, but, one thing is important, AI won't replace a person’s intelligence or even could not replace a person a human being they can help in everyday work.

As a final comment from the listened podcast, I consider that the AI create things, even work with LISP or any related programming language to this one helps to create new tools and stuff in list structure, for some time Clojure is a good way to check new options to create projects or even learn a language that could be helpful on the future.

Peace out and God wrote in LISP Code.
