KEY LEARNINGS
  • The AI family tree splits into two main branches: Symbolic AI (rule-based) and Connectionist AI (pattern-based).
  • Narrow AI excels at specific tasks but lacks the broad adaptability of human intelligence.
  • Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) remains a theoretical concept, distinct from the specialized systems we use today.
  • The history of AI is marked by 'AI Winters,' periods of reduced funding triggered by overpromising and underdelivering.
  • Effective governance requires identifying whether a system operates on fixed logic or probabilistic learning.
