During its inception in early 1950s AI was heralded as the way to the future.Visionaries dreamed up futuristic worlds where your every whim and fancy would be fulfilled by intelligent robots.Billions of dollars were spend on numerous AI projects.But as you can guess the results were just not what the investors where expecting.Many high profile projects were dropped and a period called as AI winter followed.Most people started seeing AI as nothing more than a fluke and false claims. Most researchers started distancing themselves from AI and started calling their works with different names such as machine learning informatics etc..

But now things are looking better than ever before,many breakthroughs have been made in the fields of AI and machine learning.yet we have not yet achieved the ultimate goals of AI in creating a truly intelligent system.In this article Push singh points out to reasons which he believes are preventing us from achieving this goal .
