Global Big Data Conference

Artificial intelligence (AI) has had a profound impact on our society in recent years, but it's been around longer than you may realize. Many people attribute the beginning of AI to a paper written in 1950 by Alan Turing titled "Computer Machinery and Intelligence." The term artificial intelligence, however, was first coined in 1956 at a conference that took place at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. Since then, interest in AI has wavered. Its most recent resurgence can be attributed to IBM's Deep Blue chess-playing supercomputer and its question-answering machine Watson. Today, AI is part of our everyday lives – from facial recognition technology and ride-share apps to smart assistants.
