00:00The History of Artificial Intelligence The Origins of a Dream
00:05Long ago, even before the invention of computers, people dreamed of creating machines capable
00:10of thinking like themselves.
00:13Ancient Greek myths told of mechanical men, such as Talos, a bronze giant who protected
00:18Crete.
00:19There were also tales of homunculi, artificially created humans mentioned by medieval alchemists.
00:25The Emergence of the First Computers
00:27In the early 20th century, as technology began to advance rapidly, the dream of creating
00:33artificial intelligence, A.I., became closer to reality.
00:37In the 1950s, British mathematician Alan Turing proposed the idea of a machine that could
00:42imitate human thinking.
00:44His famous Turing test became the foundation for future A.I. research.
00:48If a machine could deceive a human into believing it was also human, it was considered intelligent.
00:54The First Successes In 1956, the term artificial intelligence
00:59was first used at the Dartmouth Conference.
01:02This event is considered the official beginning of research in this field.
01:06During those years, scientists were already creating programs that could solve mathematical
01:11problems, play chess, and even understand some aspects of human speech.
01:16The Golden Age and A.I. winters The 1960s and 1970s were a time of great hopes
01:22and grand plans.
01:24It seemed that creating true artificial intelligence was just a matter of time.
01:28However, soon came disappointment.
01:31The computational power and technology of the time were insufficient to realize ambitious
01:36projects.
01:37These periods became known as A.I. winters, when interest in A.I. developments temporarily
01:42waned due to a lack of results and funding.
01:45The Revival of Interest With the beginning of the 21st century, thanks
01:49to advancements in computational power and the accumulation of vast amounts of data,
01:54interest in A.I. resurged.
01:56Now, instead of simple programs, complex algorithms capable of learning from examples, known as
02:02neural networks, appeared.
02:04They mimic the work of the human brain and can recognize images, understand speech, and
02:09even beat humans in complex games.
02:12Real-Life Examples Today, A.I. surrounds us everywhere.
02:17Machines like Siri and Alexa understand our commands and help in everyday life.
02:22Self-driving cars, such as those by Tesla, use A.I. for safe driving.
02:26Social media algorithms select interesting news and videos for us.
02:30Even in medicine, A.I. helps diagnose diseases and develop new drugs.
02:35An intriguing future.
02:37But the story of A.I. doesn't end there.
02:40Imagine a future where machines understand our emotions, read thoughts, and even create
02:45art.
02:47What if one day A.I. will become so intelligent that it can improve itself and reach a level
02:51we can't even imagine?
02:53This raises many questions and concerns.
02:56What if machines become smarter than us?
02:58How will we live in a world where A.I. can make decisions better than humans?
03:03Ethical Questions With the development of A.I., comes serious
03:07ethical questions.
03:08For example, who will be responsible if an autonomous car gets into an accident?
03:13How do we protect personal data used by algorithms?
03:16These questions require a careful and balanced approach to ensure that technology benefits
03:21rather than harms.
03:23Conclusion The history of artificial intelligence is
03:27a story of dreams and scientific pursuit, filled with ups and downs.
03:33It is an exciting journey from ancient myths to modern technology, which continues to this
03:38day.
03:39This is what discoveries await us in the future and how they will change our lives.
03:43One thing is certain, the future of A.I. promises to be as fascinating as its history.
