Historical Context, the Evolution of AI
AI has a rich history, dating back to foundational concepts developed in the early 1900s. Over the decades, AI has evolved through several distinct phases, each characterized by different approaches and technologies. This evolution can be broadly categorized into three main stages: rule-based AI, predictive AI, and generative AI.
Early 1900s: Finite State Automata and Markov Chains
Finite State Automata (FSA):
- Concept: FSA are mathematical models of computation used to design both computer programs and sequential logic circuits. They consist of a finite number of states and transitions between those states, typically triggered by
