A history of AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) already greatly impacts our day to day lives, but where did it come from ?

The powerful AI tools we use today have origins in computing developments over the last 70 years, from code breakers in the Second World War to the very first pattern-recognition networks in the 1950's.

AI has rapidly advanced in recent decades, with the mathematical field of machine learning giving way to deep learning and, more recently, generative AI.
