Introduction

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has come a long way since its inception in the 1950s. What began as theoretical explorations and rudimentary expert systems has now advanced into the realm of Generative AI, where machines can create art, write stories, and even generate human-like conversations.

This blog explores the pivotal milestones in AI’s journey, how it has transformed industries, and what the future holds for this ever-evolving technology.

📜The Early Days: Birth of AI and Expert Systems

AI’s origins trace back to the 1950s, with Alan Turing introducing the concept of intelligent machines and John McCarthy coining the term “Artificial Intelligence.”

The 1970s saw the rise of Expert Systems, designed to replicate human decision-making in specific domains. These systems relied on a predefined set of rules to solve problems.
