The Rise of AI techsocialnetwork

Arguably, Artificial intelligence or AI debuted at a conference at Dartmouth University in 1956. At the time, there was a lot of optimism. Some people at the conference believed robots and AI machines would be doing the work of humans by the mid-1970s. Of course, that didn't happen -- what happened instead was that funding dried up and a period called "The AI Winter" began. That ostensibly lasted into the 2000s, when IBM's Watson peaked a lot of interest in artificial intelligence again.
