What is meant by an artificial intelligence winter?

  • A.A phase in which only neural network approaches received any support
  • B.A period of reduced funding and interest after unmet expectations
  • C.A season in which computing hardware was too cold to operate
  • D.A time when research was concentrated in a single country

Answer: B

Two such periods, in the mid seventies and the late eighties, followed influential critical reports and the collapse of commercial expectations, and funding and enrolment fell sharply. Each was preceded by overpromising. Geography, hardware and methodological narrowing are not what the term describes. A discipline whose funding follows a cycle of promise and disappointment has a strong incentive to describe its capabilities carefully, which is a lesson the field has had to relearn.
