History & Evolution of AI

Artificial Intelligence has developed over several decades.

Students will explore the major stages in the development of AI, including:

Early Computing

The development of programmable computers created the foundation for research into machine intelligence.

Early AI Research

Researchers began exploring whether computers could perform tasks associated with human reasoning and problem-solving.

Expert Systems

AI systems were developed to use specialized knowledge and rules to solve problems in particular domains.

Machine Learning

The focus gradually shifted toward systems that could learn patterns from data rather than relying entirely on manually written rules.

Deep Learning

Advances in computing power, algorithms and large datasets enabled neural-network-based approaches to solve increasingly complex problems.

Generative AI

Modern AI systems can generate text, images, audio, code and other forms of content, creating new possibilities for education, business and creative work.
