🇺🇸 EP2 – The History of Artificial Intelligence: from logical machines to deep learning

The history of artificial intelligence began before computers

The history of artificial intelligence did not start with modern software. Its origins lie in philosophical questions about whether human reasoning could be replicated by machines.

Long before the digital era, thinkers explored the possibility of artificial reasoning.


Alan Turing and the foundations of artificial intelligence

In the 1940s, Alan Turing laid the groundwork for the history of artificial intelligence, arguing that machines could perform any logical operation given the right instructions.

His Turing Test remains a symbolic milestone in AI research.


The official birth of artificial intelligence

The term “Artificial Intelligence” was coined in 1956 at the Dartmouth Conference. Early researchers believed intelligent machines were just a few decades away.

This optimism defined the early phase of the history of artificial intelligence.


Early systems and unrealistic expectations

Between the 1950s and 1970s, early AI systems achieved limited success but failed to scale. This led to periods known as AI winters, marked by reduced funding and skepticism.

H2 – The revival of the history of artificial intelligence

The history of artificial intelligence changed dramatically in the 2000s due to:

  • Massive data availability

  • Increased computing power

  • Advances in machine learning

Learning replaced rigid programming.


Deep learning and the modern AI era

Deep learning techniques transformed the history of artificial intelligence, enabling breakthroughs in language, vision and autonomous systems.

AI became practical, scalable and commercially viable.


From science fiction to everyday life

Today, the history of artificial intelligence is inseparable from digital transformation. Intelligent systems now operate behind the scenes of modern society.


Lessons from the history of artificial intelligence

The history of artificial intelligence reveals cycles of hype and realism. Understanding this journey helps society prepare for future transformations driven by intelligent machines.
