History of Artificial Intelligence

As the name suggests, artificial intelligence (AI) is a discipline that runs on the edge between science and engineering, aiming to develop machines capable of performing actions that typically require human intelligence skills. The path of this discipline had seen light and darkness following the course of technological evolution until one day, in 1997, a machine defeated the world chess champion. This revealed true AI’s potential. Mechanical chip connections started to look more and more similar to those existing between nerve cells in a human brain, leading the machines to gain experience from their own mistakes through the so-called machine and deep learning. These findings really changed how humans approached different fields, first of which was medical healthcare.
