Before we could ask an AI to write a poem or create an image, the dream of a thinking machine was born in myth, philosophy, and the minds of eccentric geniuses. This episode journeys back in time, from the clockwork automatons of ancient Greece to the legendary 1956 Dartmouth workshop that gave 'Artificial Intelligence' its name. We uncover the stories of the brilliant pioneers like Alan Turing, the cycles of euphoric 'AI Springs' followed by devastating 'AI Winters,' and the crucial breakthroughs that built the foundation for the world we live in today. This is the origin story of the ghost in the machine.References:
