Artificial Intelligence History (Chapter 1: AI Handbook)

This is the first of a multi-part series on AI that I will be writing. At the end of this post, you'll find a link to the list where I'll save all future posts. Artificial intelligence (AI) has a long and storied history that can be traced back to the earliest days of computing systems, with examples like automata and mechanical robots. During the first stages of artificial intelligence development, a robot called an automaton was created using just mechanical pieces. The robot could only carry out the predetermined duties that had been programmed into it.
