A Brief History & Purpose of Learning AI (Artificial Intelligence)
🧠 What is AI?
Artificial Intelligence is the science of building machines and software that can think, learn, and make decisions — much like humans do. It includes everything from chatbots and recommendation engines to self-driving cars and medical diagnosis systems.
📜 A Brief History of AI
| Year | Milestone |
|---|---|
| 1950s | Alan Turing introduces the idea of machine intelligence — the Turing Test. |
| 1956 | Term “Artificial Intelligence” coined at Dartmouth Conference — birth of AI as a field. |
| 1980s | Rise of expert systems — rule-based programs solving real-world problems. |
| 2000s | Machine Learning (ML) and Neural Networks gain momentum with more data & computing power. |
| 2010s | Deep Learning revolution: breakthroughs in vision, NLP, game playing (e.g., AlphaGo). |
| 2020s | Explosion of Generative AI (ChatGPT, DALL·E, Bard, Claude) — AI becomes mainstream. |

🚦 Kickstart Suggestion
Begin with a hands-on approach using:
- Google Colab (free cloud-based Jupyter Notebooks)
- Real datasets from Kaggle
- Start with small projects: spam classifier, image recognizer, recommendation system
Would you like me to prepare the first AI session (e.g., “What is Machine Learning?” or “Setting up Python + Colab + Pandas”) next?
