Prolog is a programming language designed for developing AI applications, leveraging logic as its foundational structure. Initially, developers outline rules and establish facts related to a specific problem. The Prolog interpreter then employs logical reasoning techniques to address queries. This process allows the interpreter to automatically deduce solutions by drawing upon the defined rules and facts.
Prolog was created in the early 1970s by Alain Colmerauer and Philippe Roussel at the University of Marseille. It was one of the earliest logic programming languages, intended to support natural language processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence (AI) research.
