Most of the fundamental AI concepts have existed for many decades. The term “AI” was coined in 1956 by Stanford computer scientist John McCarthy.
The past decade, however, has shown unprecedented growth in the development of AI technologies – mainly unlocked by the availability of compute power, the enormous amount of training data made available by the Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and the decrease in cloud storage and computing costs.
As a result, AI technologies are already revolutionising most industries, businesses, and lifestyles.
We have sophisticated smart assistants such as Siri on our phones, self-driving cars are closer to becoming a part of our...
