How AI Got Started

Many people I’ve met think AI got started at the end of 2022, when ChatGPT was first introduced in November that year, and when some AI art platforms — Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and DALL-E — were made available to the general public.   

But actually, AI has had a long history, though people didn’t call it that, when it was used for public surveillance systems or in digital assistants like SIRI, designed to answer simple questions, make recommendations, and schedule appointments.
