Artificial Intelligence And The Future of SEO

The concept of artificial intelligence, or AI, has existed for centuries, even if the phrase itself wasn't coined until 1956. The idea that humans could create something capable of thought processes similar to, or even superior to, their own, existed with the ancient Greeks and has extended through the millennia. The concept ramped up significantly in the 1950s, though computer memory and construction limitations prevented significant breakthroughs from occurring. Science fiction novels and films began foreseeing an ominous future, and recently, AI applications have started infiltrating our world. More recent years have seen some interest spikes: Deep Blue, a chess-playing supercomputer, defeated Garry Kasparov in 1997, and IBM's Watson destroyed its human competition in Jeopardy! in 2011.
