The Journey of AI Development
The history of artificial intelligence (AI) can be traced back to the 1950s when the term was first coined by John McCarthy at a conference in Dartmouth. Early pursuits in AI faced challenges as advancements often led to applications being categorized as engineering rather than true AI, such as voice recognition systems developed in the '80s and '90s. A significant breakthrough occurred with the rise of deep learning about a decade ago, which allowed AI to learn from vast amounts of data without explicit programming. This advancement has since equipped AI with capabilities like image and language recognition, and even some development in autonomous vehicles, highlighting the rapid progress made in recent years.
