Merging Telecommunication and Artificial Intelligence: Past, Present and Future

摘要

The insinuation of telecommunication into the daily fabric of our lives has been arguably the most important development of the last 25 years. In the not too distant past, there were separate branches of telecommunication: telephone and radio provided voice delivery, TV delivered images and computers processed data. Today's telecommunications business is a complex industry that provides delivery of any type of information throughout the world. In order to effect such a far-reaching change, many streams converged. At the most basic level was the explosive growth of the technology. Digital switching and processing are intrinsic to the modern network and are possible only through integrated-circuit technology. The other major development was the blending of artificial intelligence with the telecommunication industry. In this paper, we discuss the history of Telecommunication and Artificial Intelligence merge, present status and future possibilities.
