Episode Synopsis "Hey Google do you know Siri?"
In this episode we explore the world of AI. What makes AI different from traditional code? Where did it come from? Who coined the term? We take a short walk in history to discover that the Greeks conceived of intelligent machines in their mythology. They wrote about an automaton (robot), named Talos, that roamed and protected their land that was intelligent. In 1642, Rene Descartes discussed whether or not machine would ever be able to speak words or reason. In the 1940s, Alan Turing created the Turning tests which became the standard to tell if a machine was indistinguishable from a human. In 1956, John McCarthy holds a two-month inaugural conference on "Artificial Intelligence" at Dartmouth with 10 other scientists. During this episode we go onto discuss the major milestones in modern history with AI. Over the last 70 years there have been many ups and downs in AI. We discuss the causes and outcomes of these periods. We wrap up with some discussion of the future that AI will bring us.
