The AI Revolution: Uncovering Its Ancient Origins
For thousands of years, humans have explored the idea of intelligence beyond themselves, seen in ancient art blending human and animal forms. Fast-forward to the 19th century, Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace laid the foundations of computing, which accelerated AI's growth. In 1950, Alan Turing introduced the Turing Test, sparking debates on machine intelligence. The 1956 Dartmouth Conference marked AI as a field, and innovations like machine learning, neural networks, and deep learning followed. By 2018, AI achieved groundbreaking advances with models like GPT. As we advance toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), questions about job impacts and society’s preparedness remain pressing.
