We are pretty certain that you must have come across multiple articles/blogs on artificial intelligence. It's plausibility of being able to ever evolve. But let's just take a moment here, and rather going forward take a step backwards and understand how and why exactly did artificial intelligence come into existence. The idea of machines being able to think, analyse, predict and understand like humans (even better and faster) has been a fantasy since centuries. So it would rather be tough to say where and how exactly did the concept of artificial intelligence came into being, but one of the first algorithm of machine learning (a sub-set of Artificial Intelligence) was designed in 1970, but it's true potential was unleashed in a famous paper in 1986 by David Rumelhart, Geoffrey Hinton and Ronald Williams (and is still vastly used as a basic model for machine learning) and the first ever breakthrough idea to be sprouted was in 1950.
