History of AI
This lesson is part of A.I. · All levels
Summary
The history of AI began with Alan Turing's idea of thinking machines, including the Turing test in 1950. The Dartmouth Conference in 1956 officially gave birth to the field of artificial intelligence. After a period of glory and two AI winters, the field has been reborn thanks to big data, GPUs, and deep learning algorithms.
