Throughout the 20th century, knowledge has continually expanded, stemming from the evolution of eras such as the industrial revolution, the space program, the atomic-bomb and nuclear energy and, of course, computers. In some cases, it may appear to the masses that artificial intelligence is about as common as a latte or peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich. Yet the initial developments of AI date at least as far back as the 1950s steadily gaining ground and acceptance through the 1970s.
It wasn’t until the late 1970s and early 1980s that computer science began to emerge from a data-driven industry using large “main-frame” computational systems into platforms for everyday uses at a personal level. While the Mac and early PCs (beginning in the 1980s) were game changers, they were certainly limited on compute power and not designed to “learn” or render complex tasks with modeling or predictive capabilities.
