A Transformative Journey of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Artificial intelligence has come a long way in last seventy five years. This article looks at how AI has changed over time, explaining advances in logic, probability, systems theory and neural computation that have helped build intelligent devices. It highlights major milestones and the contributions of key pioneers who connected theoretical principles with practical engineering. It also highlights landmark achievements and innovations that have impacted society and industry. The article illustrates how insights from physics and neuroscience have shaped the learning and training processes of computational models. In addition to tracing the technical evolution, it examines AI’s broader societal influence across healthcare, education, communication, industry, and arts. While the technology is already transforming these domains, its longterm consequences will become evident only over time. We need to ensure appropriate policies exist so that society can benefit from these advancements.
