Evolution
Walk the timeline from Turing's first question to the living aether of ambient intelligence. Eight moments that changed everything.
The timeline
Scroll through eight decades of machine intelligence.
The Turing Test
Alan Turing asks the question that defines a field: can machines think?
AI is born
The Dartmouth workshop gathers pioneers and coins the term 'artificial intelligence.'
Backpropagation
Neural networks gain the ability to learn from layered representations through error feedback.
Deep learning ignites
AlexNet shatters image recognition benchmarks, launching the deep learning era.
Transformers arrive
Attention is all you need. Context becomes the engine of modern AI.
Generative AI goes mainstream
Large language models become creative, conversational, and accessible to everyone.
Agentic systems
AI begins planning, using tools, and executing multi-step work in real environments.
Ambient intelligence
AI weaves into the fabric of work, health, cities, creativity, and daily life.
From “can machines think?”
to “the aether is alive.”
In less than a century, AI has gone from a thought experiment to the most consequential technology of our era. The next decade will redefine what it means to be intelligent — and what it means to be human.
