Artificial intelligence is progressing at a pace never seen before. Artificial intelligence's meteoric rise has finally earned it a spot in the Guinness Book of Records. Below is a list of all the records set in the field of artificial intelligence.

First Computer film critic

Epagogix, a UK-based company established in 2003, forecasts a film's box office performance using neural networks and analytical software.

The software compiles information from human ratings of the potential script, compares them to ratings of previous film scripts, and then estimates how much money a total production of the new script would bring in. Because of this, the tool can predict a film's earnings within a USD 10 million margin of error.

A first video game featuring AI

The first stealth game with AI features to form teams, communicate, and launch counterattacks were Metal Gear Solid 2. It is a Japanese video game created by Konami Computer Entertainment. This level of AI has since become essential to the stealth sub-genre because it was a key gameplay element to disable such NPCs before the arrival of reinforcements. The first collective AI in a stealth game, according to the GWR Video Gamer's Edition of 2008. Because it was the first stealth game to use AI on this scale, the game set a world record.

First AI scientist

The first AI-based scientist was Eureqa, a proprietary modelling engine developed by Cornell's Artificial Intelligence Lab (Creative Machines lab). This 2009 invention can analyze data on any subject and produce a mathematical law equalizing inputted data. This program, which takes its name from Archimedes' well-known adage, uses the genetic algorithm theory to mimic the natural world's ability to evolve and improve.

The program was fed data on a pendulum's motion as a proof-of-concept experiment, and in response, it rediscovers Newton's second law of motion and the conservation of energy.

First political chatbot

In collaboration with Touchtech and Victoria University of Wellington, Nick Gerritsen has created the Semantic Analysis Machine (SAM). SAM is the world's first political chatbot designed to respond to questions on specific topics via Facebook Messenger.

The chatbot is capable of conversing on a variety of topics, from housing to education. In addition to assisting individuals in comprehending various policies, SAM raises awareness about artificial intelligence and how social media influences public opinion.

Most expensive AI-generated artwork sold at auction

The 2018 generative adversarial network-based portrait painting of Edmond de Belamy by the Paris-based arts collective Obvious holds the record. The art piece brought in USD 432,000 (£334,144). An open-source AI programmer named Robbie Barrat's work served as the foundation for the algorithm.

The biggest stock market crash by automated trading

The trillion-dollar flash crash on May 6th, 2010, lasted approximately 36 minutes. As a result, the US stock market fell by more than 600 points, only to recover in 20 minutes.

The crash by algorithmic trading holds the record for the most significant stock market crash caused by AI.

Highest score in a live Turing test

The chatterbot Cleverbot, created by British computer scientist Rollo Carpenter, received the highest score in a live (as opposed to online) and controlled the Turing test. On September 3rd, 2011, the test was conducted at the Techniche festival in Guwahati, India. Cleverbot received a score of 59.3% human out of 1,334 judge votes.

Largest AI-programming lesson

An elementary Bot Camp project ballooned into the largest-ever AI programming workshop. This camp was on April 17th, 2019, as part of Capital One Services LLC's Future Edge DFW initiative in Dallas, Texas, USA.

A longer coding lesson of 90 minutes or more preceded the AI component of the lesson. The class culminated in creating a Jason Witten celebrity bot for the Dallas Cowboys (who was in attendance). A whopping 94.8% of students completed the exercise.

Most Loebner Prize wins.

Stephen Worswick won the most Loebner Prizes. Mitsuku, his chatbot, won the Loebner Prize in 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. The Loebner Prize is the prize for a most human-like artificial intelligence computer program.

First gender-aware robot

Doki, an Intelligent Earth robot with visual gender recognition software, was created on January 20th, 2003. Doki can accurately identify the gender of men 96% of the time and women 100% of the time using high-resolution cameras and computer vision software.

Highest score in the CASP competition

AplhaFold 2 received the highest Critical Assessment of Protein Structure Prediction (CASP) score in November 2020. DeepMind's AI-based system scored 92.4 GDT at CASP14 (from May to September 2020).

In the most challenging category of "Free Modelling," which included the trickiest and most challenging protein problems, AlphaFold scored an 87.0 GDT in 2020. The AlphaFold system uses a bank of 16 TPUs (tensor processing units) to generate a solution in a short time. The set of 16 TPUs is comparable to 100–200 readily available commercial GPUs.
