- 0:26Speaker 1: Before we dive into the history of AI, let's first
- 0:29Speaker 1: understand what it really is. At its core, artificial intelligence
- 0:33Speaker 1: refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines. These
- 0:38Speaker 1: machines are programmed to think, learn, and make decisions similar
- 0:42Speaker 1: to how humans do. While AI is often depicted in
- 0:46Speaker 1: sci fi movies as sentient beings with emotions and desires,
- 0:50Speaker 1: the AI we encounter today is much more focused on
- 0:54Speaker 1: solving complex problems, automating tasks, and making predictions and buy
- 1:00Speaker 1: based on data. The concept of artificial intelligence dates back
- 1:05Speaker 1: to ancient times. Philosophers and mathematicians like Aristotle and Alan
- 1:10Speaker 1: Turing imagined a world where machines could mimic human thought. However,
- 1:16Speaker 1: it wasn't until the mid twentieth century that AI truly
- 1:19Speaker 1: started to take shape. In nineteen hundred and fifty six,
- 1:23Speaker 1: the term artificial intelligence was coined by John McCarthy at
- 1:27Speaker 1: the famous Dartmouth Conference. At this conference, a group of
- 1:31Speaker 1: scientists and researchers laid the foundation for AI research, believing
- 1:35Speaker 1: that human intelligence could be replicated by machines. They dreamed
- 1:39Speaker 1: of creating machines that could solve problems, reason, and even
- 1:43Speaker 1: understand natural language. Despite early optimism, AI development faced significant challenges.
- 1:51Speaker 1: The technology of the time wasn't advanced enough to process
- 1:55Speaker 1: large amounts of data, and many early attempts at building
- 1:58Speaker 1: intelligent machines failed. These initial setbacks led to periods known
- 2:03Speaker 1: as AI winters, where funding and interest in the field diminished.
- 2:08Speaker 1: Fast forward to the twenty first century, and AI has
- 2:11Speaker 1: undergone a dramatic transformation. Thanks to advances in computational power,
- 2:17Speaker 1: data storage, and algorithms, AI has experienced a renaissance. This
- 2:23Speaker 1: new wave of AI is often referred to as modern AI,
