Commemorating 70 Years of Artificial Intelligence
IEEE Spectrum marks seventy years since the Dartmouth workshop formally named artificial intelligence as a field, offering a measured account of its long arc from symbolic systems and expert rules through neural networks, deep learning, and the transformer architecture that underlies today's generative tools. The retrospective is valuable less for novelty than for perspective — a reminder that the current moment is neither the first surge of confident optimism nor, likely, the last period of reckoning with what AI can and cannot do. The piece is careful to name real weaknesses alongside real capabilities, which is more than most anniversary coverage manages.
