[Question]Programming Language For A.I

[A.I]

Hi,

I have done some research on A.I and want to do a project. My question is:
Which language will be best suited for developing A.I ? I know C++ and Python. But I don't think they are well suited for A.I development. If anyone knows or has worked on A.I, please let me know about the most suitable environment.

Thanks.

What type of A.I , Video Game AI and logic, or communication and interpretation AI

[Hell_Demon]

C++ is suited for all types of AI, Python is great for pathfinding or linking words together etc.
Speech recognition might be easier in C# or VB.net because there are probably easy to use frameworks out there.

The programming language doesn't really matter for AI

Programming language doesn't really matter. I would personally suggest C++ as it executes much faster than other languages. The thing you should care about is your logic of how it learns / w.e you are doing. As HD said, VB.NET / C# for Speech Recognition. GL.

I've heard Lisp used to be the premier language for AI, but then again that was like 30 years ago, which is several lifetimes in computers. I'd have to agree with NextGen it ultimately depends on what kinda AI your building, what kind of architecture your building on, etc. Make sure to incorporated parrellization if your working on a multi-core system. AI really benefits from that.

I say it does, soley for ease of use, like HD said, if you are looking for a intellectual AI with speech recognition, then I know form experience Vb.net / C# is great, their SDK is killer IMO, and it is so easy to develop a large enough database of communications and responses, obvs the learning curve would be a challenge, but with some hard work it is possible, IE: I always say AI should start off like an infant, basic understanding, and a infinite number of possibilities, like learning words and their meanings, training the AI with constant communication, and when it doesn't understand something, you teach it, again, because AI technology in general is still somewhat limited , the AI will still be Faux, but getting there.

Now if it's gaming AI, path finding, basic AI logic, then C++ has numerous great SDK's, and so does (what used to be my favorite) Real Basic
