The world’s first famous AI chatbot was created in 1966 — long before the internet existed!
Its name was ELIZA.
The surprising part? There was no internet, no smartphones and no social media at that time.
Joseph Weizenbaum, a computer scientist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, created ELIZA. He built a program that could reply to people in a human-like way.
For example, if someone said:
“I feel sad”
ELIZA might reply:
“Why do you feel sad?”
It mainly used parts of people’s sentences to ask questions back but at that time, it felt amazing and futuristic.
Many people even believed ELIZA could truly “understand” them. Some users shared personal feelings with the chatbot!
Even without the internet, people were already talking to computers.
Today’s modern AI tools like ChatGPT started their journey from small early projects like ELIZA.
Have you ever wondered how Google Maps finds the fastest route for you? Or how a video game character knows where to go next?
A key component of AI drives these capabilities. When AI needs to solve a problem, such as finding the best way to get from one place to another, it searches through different possibilities. This process is known as a Search Strategy in AI.
Types of Search Strategies in AI
AI search strategies are divided into two main types: Uninformed Search and Informed Search.
★ Uninformed Search: This involves exploring options systematically without prior knowledge or hints.
For example, imagine you’re in a maze and systematically explore every path without knowing which one leads to the exit.
Example:
Breadth-First Search (BFS): Explores all possible paths level by level.
Depth-First Search (DFS): Follows a single path all the way to the end before backtracking.
Uninformed search methods are straightforward but can be time-consuming.
★ Informed Search:
Here, AI applies strategies using some hints or knowledge about the best possible path.
For example, Google Maps uses traffic data and distance estimates to calculate the shortest or fastest route.
Example:
Pathfinding in AI
One of the most common applications of searching is "Pathfinding".
Imagine a video game where your character needs to travel from the office to home.
• If AI uses an uninformed method, it explores routes systematically without prioritizing the best option.
• If AI uses an informed method, it leverages distance and time estimates to select the fastest route.
Real-Life Applications
Search strategies underpin everyday tools like navigation apps, online search engines and video game mechanics.
Whenever you use a navigation app, play a video game or search for something online, AI's search algorithms are at work, making sure you get the best results efficiently!

Quantum computing is currently a hot topic in the tech world.
Physicist Richard Feynman first proposed that by harnessing the principles of quantum mechanics, we could construct computers that operate exponentially faster than classical ones. In 1994, a mathematician named Peter Shor developed "Shor's Algorithm" which allows a quantum computer to factor large numbers very quickly, potentially breaking today’s encryption systems. Research in this field has been ongoing ever since.
★ What is Quantum Computing? How Does Quantum Work?
The computers we use are classical computers. They operate using "bits" which are either 0 or 1. However, quantum computers work with "qubits". Qubits can hold multiple possibilities at once. For example, 50 qubits together can process over 2^50 possibilities (1.125 quadrillion). These qubits can be both 0 and 1 at the same time, a property called "Superposition."
Superposition: A qubit can be both 0 and 1 simultaneously. This allows a quantum computer to calculate many possibilities at once.
Entanglement: When two qubits are entangled or linked to each other, a change in one instantly changes the other, no matter the distance between them (this increases the computer’s speed even more). Einstein famously described this phenomenon as "Spooky Action at a Distance."
Interference: Interference uses quantum waves to identify the correct solution while eliminating incorrect possibilities.
With these three principles, quantum computers can quickly solve complex problems that are impossible for classical computers. For instance, 100 qubits can process 2^100 possibilities which is more than the number of particles in the universe!
★ How Are Quantum Computers Built? What Challenges Are Faced?
Building a quantum computer is extremely difficult and costs hundreds of millions of dollars. Qubits can be electrons, photons or superconducting circuits. They must operate at temperatures near absolute zero (-273°C). Moreover, qubits are highly sensitive; keeping them stable is tough and even slight movement, noise or heat can cause errors. That’s why they’re kept in special chambers. Additionally, quantum computing requires new types of algorithms which require time to develop and master.
★ Current Situation (Up to 2025):
Google announced "Quantum Supremacy" in 2019. Their Sycamore processor with 53 qubits, completed a task in 200 seconds that would take the world’s fastest supercomputer 10,000 years. By 2024, their Willow Chip has become even more advanced.
IBM’s Heron processor has 133 qubits and they’re providing researchers with cloud access through their "Quantum Center." Companies like IBM and Microsoft have brought quantum computing to the cloud, allowing ordinary people to try it, speeding up research.
China has set new records in quantum computing with their Jiuzhang 2.0, which uses photons.
Two popular extension available on the Chrome Web Store that instantly show the quality and ranking of any academic journal.
Once you install the extension, whenever you browse sites like Google Scholar, it automatically displays:
Quartile Ranking (Q1 / Q2 / Q3 / Q4): You can immediately see which quartile the journal belongs to.
How to Install?
After installation, the journal metrics will appear automatically on Google Scholar and other research platforms.
Write the abstract for your paper in it and search, you will get a list of related journals.
If you submit your paper to a subscription-based journal (not open access), many of them do not charge any publication fee, because the cost is covered by institutional subscriptions.
However, some journals still have submission fees or optional open-access charges, so it’s always important to check the journal’s "Author Guidelines" before submitting.
Elsevier Journal Finder is a smart tool that helps researchers identify the most suitable journals for their papers. By entering the paper's:
• Title
• Abstract
• Keywords
The tool suggests journals that are the best match for the manuscript.
After searching, it provides information such as:
• Relevant journals matching your paper
• Impact Factor
• Acceptance Rate
• Review Time
• Indexing (Scopus, SCI, etc.)
How to Choose a Journal?
Journal Finder may suggest multiple journals. When selecting one, consider the following factors:
Subscription-Based Journals: These journals generally do not charge any fee for paper submission or publication.
Open-Access Journals: These usually require an APC (Article Processing Charge), which can range from around $200–$300 or even more.
Waivers: Many journals offer APC waivers for researchers from developing countries (such as Bangladesh) or those with limited funding. Before submission, always check the journal’s policy page to confirm whether a waiver is available.
Note:
Before submitting to any journal, carefully read the “Author Guidelines” on the journal’s website and format your paper accordingly.
