The journey of neural networks, from simple Perceptrons to transformers like BERT is depicted, highlighting the improvements in artificial intelligence. The various impacts of deep learning across sectors such as finance, healthcare, meteorology, and manufacturing are shown. The introduction of backpropagation, multi-layered artificial neurons, and reinforcement learning in the evolution of these models is discussed. The possibilities of neural networks potentially achieving human-like consciousness or self-awareness in the future are also explored.
