How did we get here? A short history of artificial intelligence - CityAM

For over seventy years the story of artificial intelligence (AI) has been one of saturating the capabilities of AI to the level of computational power available, and then waiting for Moore's Law to catch up. During that time there have been bubbles of AI hype, research booms, funding busts and a quiet rebirth. The AI story starts with Alan Turing, a young British polymath who explored the mathematical possibility of artificial intelligence. Turing suggested that humans use available information as well as reason in order to solve problems and to make decisions. Turing postulated that machines which could do the same thing.
