Have you ever wondered how AI came to be? How did ChatGPT develop? Who is "Siri"? Find out everything you need to know about the rise of AI and advancing technology, including future applications and concerns, in this informative book that features 16 pages of photos. It all began in 1822 when an English mathematician created the "Difference Engine," the world's first mechanical calculating machine. Fast-forward two hundred years, and cars are beginning to drive themselves! How did this technology advance? Over a series of trials and errors, steps forward and back, AI, or artificial intelligence, has most steadily developed since the 1950s. By the '90s, AI technology began interacting with people in laboratories and at conferences, dazzling the world with its impressive knowledge and capabilities. The simulation of human intelligence by machines continues to revolutionize healthcare, transportation, and efficiency across the world. Learn all about this problem-solving facet of the computer science industry and where it might take us in the future.
