Episode notes
This episode delves into the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI)—humanity’s pursuit to create machines that can think, learn, and adapt. From Alan Turing’s 1950 question “Can machines think?” to the invention of neural networks and modern deep learning, AI has evolved from theory to reality.
Early optimism in the 1950s faded during AI’s “winters,” but breakthroughs in data processing and neural networks revived progress. By the 21st century, AI systems could see, speak, translate, and even create—powering self-driving cars, chatbots, and art generators. Today, AI drives innovation in healthcare, education, finance, and science, functioning not just as a tool but as a collaborator.
Yet AI also raises profound ethical questions. It reflects human data—our creativity and our biases—and ...
