History of AI

📘History of AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is all about making machines act or think like humans. Over the years, AI has progressed from simple ideas to powerful systems that can do complex tasks. Here is a short journey through some of the key moments in AI history.

📅 1950

Alan Turing, a British mathematician, wrote a famous paper titled “Computing Machinery and Intelligence.” In it, he asked, “Can machines think?”. This idea became very popular and an important part of AI history.

📅 1956

The term “Artificial Intelligence” was used for the first time at a conference in Dartmouth. John McCarthy and his colleagues introduced the idea of AI to the world, marking the official start of the field.

📅 1959

Arthur Samuel introduced the phrase “Machine Learning.” This concept allows computers to learn and improve from data without being specifically programmed to do every single step.

📅 1997

IBM’s chess-playing computer, Deep Blue, beat world chess champion Garry Kasparov. This event showed the world just how powerful AI could be.

📅 2017

A paper titled “Attention is All You Need” introduced the Transformer model. This was a big step forward in how machines understand and generate language. It led to new AI tools like BERT and eventually ChatGPT.

📅 2022

OpenAI released ChatGPT, which quickly reached 100 million users in just two months. ChatGPT showed how AI can help people communicate, learn, and create in brand-new ways.

📅 2024

OpenAI and Google unveiled next-level models (like sora and Veo 2) that can turn text into videos. AI also got better at reasoning, taking on tasks that require deeper thinking.

📅 2025

By 2025, AI “agents” can manage many jobs typically done by people. They can schedule meetings, write reports, and even learn and adapt on their own.

🚀 Key Points

  1. 1950s: Alan Turing asked, “Can machines think?” and the term “Artificial Intelligence” was first used.
  2. 1997: IBM’s Deep Blue defeated chess champion Garry Kasparov, highlighting AI’s potential.
  3. 2017: The Transformer model was introduced, paving the way for advanced AI tools like ChatGPT.
  4. 2025: AI agents can autonomously handle tasks such as scheduling meetings and writing reports.
