Speaker 2:

I'm intrigued.

Speaker 1:

So let's rewind all the way back to 1763. Thomas Bayes he was an English mathematician publishes his theorem about probability.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

You might be thinking what does math have to do with AI? But trust me, this is where it all begins.

Speaker 2:

Okay, yeah, I'm curious how that ties in.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so his work. It might seem abstract, but it's really the foundation for how machines learn from data.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

His theorem provides a way to update probabilities as new information becomes available.

Speaker 2:

Interesting.

Speaker 1:

So you can kind of think of it like the engine behind algorithms that analyze patterns and make predictions. Makes sense, which is the core of machine learning.

Speaker 2:

Think of the basis right, the foundation upon which everything else is built.

Speaker 1:

Exactly. It's pretty amazing how these fundamental mathematical principles have had such a ripple effect leading to the AI we know today.

Speaker 2:

Definitely. It really highlights how seemingly unrelated discoveries can lead to groundbreaking innovations.

Speaker 1:

Absolutely. Then we jump ahead to the 1940s.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

And we meet the legendary Alan Turing.

Speaker 2:

Of course.

Speaker 1:

He's known for cracking the Enigma code during World War II yeah, but his contributions to AI are equally significant.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, for sure. So in 1950, turing proposed a test now famously known as the Turing test.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

To determine if a machine can exhibit intelligent behavior that's indistinguishable from a human.

Speaker 1:

It's a concept that continues to challenge our understanding of intelligence itself.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it really makes you think. What does it mean for a machine to be intelligent?

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

Can we even measure that? Yeah, Like how do we even define it Exactly?

Speaker 1:

Those are questions that researchers are still grappling with today.

Speaker 2:

For sure.

Speaker 1:

And it's a testament to Turing's vision, yeah, that his ideas are still so relevant in the age of advanced AI.

Speaker 2:

It's amazing how ahead of his time he was to think of these concepts back then, when the technology was so limited.

Speaker 1:

And then we arrive at a pivotal moment the Dartmouth Conference in 1956. Okay, this is where AI officially gets its name Thanks to a group of brilliant minds who gathered to explore the potential of thinking machines.

Speaker 2:

Oh, wow, that's a cool fact. I didn't know that.
