Artificial Intelligence didn’t start with ChatGPT — and it’s not all sci-fi and speculation. In this episode, we take a journey through the real history of AI, tracing its evolution from Alan Turing’s thought experiments to the transformer models reshaping today’s world.
You’ll hear about the breakthroughs, setbacks, and surprising twists that defined each era — from rule-based expert systems and early neural networks to the rise of machine learning, deep learning, and modern generative AI.
Along the way, I connect these milestones to the lessons I’ve learned through certifications in AI ethics, generative models, and machine learning — and share why understanding where AI came from is essential to making sense of where it’s going.
Whether you’re tech-savvy or just AI-curious, this episode will give you the context you need to follow the conversation and join it.
