Reviewing the first recognizable manifestations of AI and the latest incarnations

Differentiating between pure AI and practical AI

Exploring the various ways you can use AI in your organization

Mention artificial intelligence, and you’ll get all kinds of reactions, from cartoon fantasies of Rosie, the Jetson’s robot maid, to the dystopian cityscape of Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner, James Cameron’s The Terminator, or Michael Crichton’s Westworld.

These representations of AI are examples of artificial general intelligence, also called pure AI. Even from the beginning at the Dartmouth workshop, the pioneers of AI aimed for the stars, asserting that “every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it,” but by the time it filtered down to the masses, it presented itself in humbler forms.

These days, AI is pervasive, but it slips past unnoticed because it is not a manifestation of the romantic vision of writers. Instead, it is eminently practical. Pragmatic. Useful.
