The Story Of Artificial intelligence

THE STORY OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: From Idea to Intelligence
>How was artificial intelligence created? Where did it come from? Where is it going to take the world in the future?

In 1950, Alan Turing asked: Can machines think? In 2022, millions asked ChatGPT to write their homework - and it did. Between those two moments lies the most important story of our time.

This is that story - from start to finish - told like a normal book with chapters. No prompts. No technical jargon. Just the whole story.

Written by Kiran Ramsamy from Benoni, South Africa, this complete edition explains AI in clear, confident, practical language for beginners, creators, freelancers, small business owners, and students.
