The document outlines the history of artificial intelligence, starting from its conception in the 1940s through its significant milestones, including the Dartmouth Conference in 1956 and the AI winters. It highlights key developments like the birth of machine learning, the rise of expert systems, and breakthroughs like IBM's Deep Blue defeating a chess champion. The narrative extends to recent advancements by OpenAI, culminating in the development of models like GPT-3 and the impact of deep learning on various applications.

years after the Dartmouth
Workshop were,
- Computers were solving algebra
word problems, proving theorems
in geometry and learning to speak
English.
- Limited Computer Power
- There are many problems that can
probably only be solved in
exponential time
- Can still only handle trivial versions
of the problems.
- The end of funding

dozens of companies failed, the
perception was that the technology
was not viable

In the 1940s and 50s, a handful of
scientists from a variety of
fi
elds
(mathematics, psychology,
engineering, economics and political
science) began to discuss the
possibility of creating an arti
fi

brain.

4. 1936 - Alan Turing
Introduces the concept of a universal
machine capable of performing any
computation that a human being can.
Alan Turing publishes "On Computable
Numbers, with an Application to the
Entscheidungsproblem,"

5. 1943 - Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts
Building on ideas by Alan Turing they
built M-P model - it is considered to
be one of the earliest examples of an
arti
fi
cial neural network which is a
key technique used in machine
learning.
The M-P model is not capable of
learning from data However, it
provided an early inspiration for the
development of more advanced
neural network models.

6. 1949 - Donald Hebb
1949: Donald Hebb publishes "The
Organization of Behavior," which
proposes the idea of Hebbian
learning, a form of unsupervised
learning that involves strengthening
connections between neurons that
fi
re together.

7. 1950 - Alan Turing
1950: Alan Turing publishes
"Computing Machinery and
Intelligence” which proposes the
Turing Test, a method for determining
whether a machine can exhibit
intelligent behaviour equivalent to, or
indistinguishable from, that of a
human.

8. 1956 - John McCarthy
1956: John McCarthy,
Marvin Minsky,
Nathaniel Rochester,
and Claude Shannon
organize the Dartmouth
Conference, which is
considered to be the
birth of AI as a
fi
eld. The
conference de
fi
nes the
goals of AI research and
lays the groundwork for
the development of early
AI systems.

10. 1965 - Anatolii Gershman, Alexey Ivakhnenko, Valentin Lapa
1965 : The Group Method of Data
Handling (GMDH) is a data-driven
approach to modeling that is based
on a multi-layered architecture of
interconnected polynomial models.
A multi-layer perceptron (MLP) is a
type of arti
fi
cial neural network (ANN)
that is composed of multiple layers of
interconnected nodes, or "neurons".
MLPs are typically used for
supervised learning tasks, such as
classi
fi
cation and regression.
Ivakhnenko is often considered as
the father of deep learning.
