History of Artificial Intelligence

Through generations, the field of artificial intelligence has persevered and become a hugely significant part of modern life. Of the myriad technological advances of the 20th and 21st centuries, one of the most influential is undoubtedly artificial intelligence (AI). From search engine algorithms reinventing how we look for information to Amazon's Alexa in the consumer sector, AI has become a major technology driving the entire tech industry forward into the future. According to a study from Grand View Research, the global AI industry was valued at $93.5 billion in 2021. AI as a force in the tech industry exploded in prominence in the 2000s and 2010s, but AI has been around in some form or fashion since at least 1950 and arguably stretches back even further than that.
