1 00:00:00,050 --> 00:00:05,810 Lesson the history and evolution of AI and data science, artificial intelligence and data science have 2 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:12,320 undergone significant transformations since their inception, evolving through distinct stages characterized 3 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:17,870 by advancements in computing power, algorithmic innovation, and data availability. 4 00:00:18,650 --> 00:00:24,950 The journey of AI began in the mid-20th century, marked by the pioneering work of Alan Turing, who 5 00:00:24,980 --> 00:00:30,110 introduced the concept of a machine that could simulate any human intelligence task. 6 00:00:30,110 --> 00:00:36,050 His seminal paper, Computing Machinery and Intelligence, laid the groundwork for subsequent developments 7 00:00:36,050 --> 00:00:36,920 in the field. 8 00:00:38,150 --> 00:00:45,290 At the 1956 Dartmouth Conference is widely recognized as the birthplace of AI as an academic discipline 9 00:00:45,650 --> 00:00:51,530 organized by John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Nathaniel Rochester, and Claude Shannon. 10 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:56,690 This gathering brought together leading researchers to explore the potential of machines to perform 11 00:00:56,690 --> 00:01:00,260 tasks that would require intelligence, if done by humans. 12 00:01:00,830 --> 00:01:06,590 The conference's success ignited a wave of enthusiasm and optimism, leading to the development of early 13 00:01:06,620 --> 00:01:12,810 AI programs such as the Logic Theorist designed by Allen Newell and Herbert A Simon, which could prove 14 00:01:12,810 --> 00:01:14,340 mathematical theorems. 15 00:01:16,530 --> 00:01:23,130 Despite early successes, AI research encountered significant challenges in the 1970s and 1980s. 16 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,950 Often referred to as the AI winters. 17 00:01:26,430 --> 00:01:31,950 During these periods, the limitations of existing hardware, inadequate data, and the inability of 18 00:01:31,950 --> 00:01:37,440 early AI systems to handle real world complexities led to reduced funding and interest. 19 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:43,950 However, the field continued to make gradual progress, particularly in the development of expert systems. 20 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:49,920 These rule based systems, such as Mycin, which was designed for medical diagnosis, demonstrated the 21 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,940 potential of AI to perform specialized tasks with high accuracy. 22 00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:02,670 The resurgence of AI in the 1990s and 2000 can be attributed to several factors, including the exponential 23 00:02:02,670 --> 00:02:08,790 growth in computational power, the advent of the internet, and the explosion of digital data. 24 00:02:09,390 --> 00:02:16,080 Machine learning, a subfield of AI focused on developing algorithms that enable machines to learn from 25 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,680 data, gained prominence during this period. 26 00:02:19,130 --> 00:02:24,470 The introduction of support vector machines and the development of neural networks, particularly the 27 00:02:24,470 --> 00:02:29,660 backpropagation algorithm, were pivotal in advancing the capabilities of AI systems. 28 00:02:30,770 --> 00:02:36,950 The early 21st century witnessed a paradigm shift in AI and data science, with the emergence of deep 29 00:02:36,950 --> 00:02:42,620
