• How NVIDIA Accidentally Built the AI Revol... ]
On November 30th, 2022, a small company put a chat box on the internet. Two months later, a hundred million people were using it. But the idea behind it was more than seventy years old.
This documentary follows the entire history of artificial intelligence: from Alan Turing's question "Can machines think?" and the 1956 Dartmouth summer, through the perceptron, ELIZA, two AI winters, expert systems and Deep Blue, to ImageNet, AlexNet, AlphaGo's Move 37, the Transformer and ChatGPT.
Why did it take so long? Why did AI collapse, not once, but twice? And what happened in 2012 that suddenly made everything work?
