Chris's AI Deep Dive

1. The Genesis of Artificial Intelligence

01 Dec 2024

Description

This episode traces the history of artificial intelligence (AI), beginning with its conception at the 1956 Dartmouth Workshop. It contrasts two major approaches to AI: symbolic AI, which uses human-understandable symbols and rules, and subsymbolic AI, which draws inspiration from the human brain and uses numerical computations. The narrative highlights the early optimism and subsequent "AI winters" caused by unmet expectations. The text also explains the perceptron, an early example of subsymbolic AI, and its limitations, which contributed to the decline in subsymbolic AI research. Finally, it emphasizes the surprising difficulty of seemingly "easy" tasks for AI, underscoring the complexity of human intelligence.
