U istoriji veštačke inteligencije, zima veštačke inteligencije je period smanjenog finansiranja i interesovanja za istraživanje veštačke inteligencije.[1] Ova oblast je doživjela nekoliko ciklusa intenzivnog uspona, praćenih razočarenjem i kritikama, čemu su sledila smanjenja finansiranja, nakon čega je usledilo ponovno interesovanje godinama ili čak decenijama kasnije.
Ovaj termin se prvi put pojavio 1984. godine kao tema javne debate na godišnjem sastanku AAAI (tada nazvane „Američke asocijacije za veštačku inteligenciju“). Rodžer Šank i Marvin Minski — dva vodeća istraživača veštačke inteligencije koji su preživeli „zimu“ 1970-ih — upozorili su poslovnu zajednicu da je entuzijazam za veštačku inteligenciju izmakao kontroli tokom 1980-ih i da će razočaranje sigurno uslediti. Oni su opisali lančanu reakciju, sličnu „nuklearnoj zimi“, koja bi počela pesimizmom u zajednici u pogledu veštačke inteligencije, praćenom pesimizmom u štampi, nakon čega bi usledilo ozbiljno smanjenje finansiranja, nakon čega bi usledio kraj ozbiljnog istraživanja. Tri godine kasnije industrija veštačke inteligencije vredna milijardu dolara počela je da propada.
Došlo je do dve velike zime otprilike 1974–1980 i 1987–2000,[3] i nekoliko manjih epizoda, uključujući sledeće:
Entuzijazam i optimizam u vezi sa veštačkom inteligencijom generalno su porasli od najniže tačke ranih 1990-ih. Počevši od 2012. godine, interesovanje istraživačkih i korporativnih zajednica za veštačku inteligenciju (a posebno za podoblast mašinskog učenja) dovelo je do dramatičnog povećanja finansiranja i investicija, što je dovelo do sadašnjeg (prema podacima iz 2024.) procvata veštačke inteligencije.

LXXI, no. 1 (18 January 2024), pp. 27–28, 30. "Agency is what distinguishes us from machines. For biological creatures, reason and purpose come from acting in the world and experiencing the consequences. Artificial intelligences – disembodied, strangers to blood, sweat, and tears – have no occasion for that." (p. 30.)
- Marcus, Gary, "Am I Human?: Researchers need new ways to distinguish artificial intelligence from the natural kind", . Scientific American. 316 (3). (March 2017), pp. 58–63. Multiple tests of artificial-intelligence efficacy are needed because, "just as there is no single test of athletic prowess, there cannot be one ultimate test of intelligence." One such test, a "Construction Challenge", would test perception and physical action—"two important elements of intelligent behavior that were entirely absent from the original Turing test." Another proposal has been to give machines the same standardized tests of science and other disciplines that schoolchildren take. A so far insuperable stumbling block to artificial intelligence is an incapacity for reliable disambiguation. "[V]irtually every sentence [that people generate] is ambiguous, often in multiple ways." A prominent example is known as the "pronoun disambiguation problem": a machine has no way of determining to whom or what a pronoun in a sentence—such as "he", "she" or "it"—refers.
