The history and future of AI – all in one Infographic

As I argued in a post a couple of weeks ago, it's vital for marketers to understand the conversation around Artificial Intelligence – both the technologies behind the term, and the ideas and arguments around those technologies. Recently, I came across an Infographic that goes a long way to giving you that understanding. It was created last year by the management consultancy PwC, and it summarises the history of AI and robotics from their earliest conception through to the present day and beyond. Spend a little time with it and you'll quickly find yourself engaging with the main issues that AI throws up. You'll also get a great perspective on how different strands of technology are coming together to revolutionise industries – and how the rate of this change is accelerating at a spectacular speed.
