3.6D Evolution of AI

Fiction, Philosophy and the Birth of AI

The dream of a thinking machine predates the computer: myths of living statues, Frankenstein's creature, and the word robot explored human hopes and fears about creating minds we cannot control.
Philosophy asked whether a machine could actually think and how we would know, a question running to the modern Turing test. These old hopes and fears still shape reactions to AI today (saviour or monster headlines).
Real AI research grew from the mid-twentieth century. In the 1940s, cybernetics studied how animals and machines use feedback to control behaviour, treating thinking as information processing, which made building intelligence imaginable.
The field was named at the 1956 Dartmouth workshop, coining the term artificial intelligence: the founding claim that any feature of intelligence could be described precisely enough for a machine to simulate.
1. Early programs like the Logic Theorist and the 1960s chatbot ELIZA convinced some users they understood, and researchers predicted human-level machines within a generation.
2. Reality was far narrower, opening the first gap between promise and delivery. Founders, funders, and press all had reasons to overstate progress (change concept: is a claim a real leap or another wave of enthusiasm?).

Booms and AI Winters

AI has advanced in fits and starts. It moves in booms (bold promises attract funding), then AI winters (promises fall short, money collapses).
