An overview of the history of artificial intelligence (AI), tracing its origins from ancient myths and philosophical concepts of formal reasoning to its modern manifestations. It highlights key milestones in AI research and development, including the birth of the field at the Dartmouth Workshop in 1956, periods of significant optimism and subsequent "AI winters" due to unmet expectations and funding cuts, and the resurgence of interest driven by advancements like expert systems and neural networks. The source particularly focuses on the rise of big data, deep learning, and large language models (LLMs) in the 21st century, culminating in the recent AI boom and discussions surrounding Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), its societal impact, and ethical concerns.
