A History of AI and the Deep Learning Revolution
TECHNOLOGY / HISTORY / ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCEThe oldest dream. The newest power. How machines learned to think.
“The machines we built are extraordinary and limited at once.”
About This Book
For seventy years, artificial intelligence was a promise perpetually deferred — a field of brilliant dreams, broken predictions, and two long winters of disappointment. Then, almost overnight, the machines learned to see, to speak, to play, to create, and to converse, and the world was transformed.
This is the whole arc, told in a single volume: from Ada Lovelace and Alan Turing, through the rivalry of logic and learning, the rise and fall of expert systems, and the patient faith of a few believers, to the deep learning revolution, the age of scale, and the generative era that put AI into hundreds of millions of hands.
Sober, sourced, and sweeping, this is the definitive popular history of how we taught matter to learn — and the urgent questions that now confront us.
