It all began in England in 1950. The mathematician Alan Turing invented the famous imitation game. He thus wants to demonstrate that a machine is capable of simulating human intelligence.
The principle: exchange messages, blindly, between a human and two interlocutors, in parallel. The first is a machine, the second is a person. If the player is unable to tell which answer came from the computer, the machine wins. It will take until 2014 for this to finally happen.
The golden ages of AI: from the emergence of the discipline to the Big Data revolution
It was not until six years later, in 1956, during a conference organized in the northeastern United States at Dartmouth, that AI truly became a science. In the years that followed, businesses, governments and even the American military began to take a close interest in it. They invest in research. We are then talking regarding the first golden age of AI.
But in the 1980s, researchers ended up being confronted with a technical problem: the power of computers. We must therefore wait until 2010 and the era of Big Data to be able to more fully exploit the potential of AI. We are then in the second golden age of AI.
Quickly, Elon Musk, the current boss of X (formerly Twitter) and Sam Altman jumped at the opportunity and created OpenAI; the company behind ChatGPT is now on everyone’s lips.
