Artificial Intelligence has come a long way, from Turing to Alexa and now ChatGPT – but what does all of this mean for students?
The concept of AI dates back to the 1950s when pioneers like Alan Turing and John McCarthy laid the groundwork for the field. Early AI efforts aimed to create machines that could mimic human intelligence, solving complex problems and learning from data.
However, progress was slow, and AI experienced periods of hype and disillusionment, known as “AI winters.” It was not until recent years that advancements in computing power, big data, and machine learning algorithms propelled AI into the forefront.
As a recent graduate I have seen the rise in AI first hand, from a passing comment to full assignments being written by AI tools.
