The word AI had first been coined in the year 1956. Since then, in the first two to three years it seemed like the so-called “Future” had been just a simple term even if it had a couple of advancements.
The year 1984 bought a new problem for the growing industry of the future “AI Winter”. The period was when there was reduced funding and interest in the development of Artificial Intelligence. It was hyped up by the idea of “Nuclear Winter”. The main reasons for the AI Winter can be due to the unnaturally high hopes of the users and extensive promotion in the world media.
A.I started blooming with the beginning of the 21st Century. It started gaining enthusiasm since the early 1990s. In the decade of 2010, the interests in Artificial Intelligence along with Machine Learning (ML) have skyrocketed in the global market.
With everyday enhancements and developments, you can expect the world to be like one of those futuristic Sci-Fi movies in the next 50 years or so. We might regard AI as a problem for the future with all those Sci-Fi movies like Terminator or I, Robot. Yes, it seems possible for the world to be conquered by robots and we humans being the next slaves to the technology we created with such zeal. But, no matter how advanced they get, they will never be comparable to human intelligence: the mental developments for such a creation would require massive work to be done and who would like to be a slave by choice for their own creation to ease life.
