The ENTIRE History of AI: The 8 Researchers Who Built Modern AI (And Why They Left)

How did AI start? In 1950, Alan Turing asked a question nobody could answer. Six years later, a small group of researchers gave the field its name. Then the dream of artificial intelligence died twice before it took over the world. This is the entire history of AI, from the Dartmouth workshop and the AI winters to Deep Blue, AlexNet, AlphaGo, and "Attention Is All You Need", the 2017 Google paper behind every modern chatbot. All eight of its authors left Google. Then a small startup called OpenAI released ChatGPT on a quiet Wednesday, its CEO was fired on a video call and brought back five days later, and DeepSeek turned AI into a global race. The dream didn't win because it was inevitable. It won because a handful of people refused to let it die. ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 The paper that changed everything 1:05 Alan Turing's question 1:57 Dartmouth 1956: AI gets its name 3:02 The first AI winter 3:53 Expert systems and the second collapse 5:26 Deep Blue beats Kasparov 6:11 AlexNet: the 2012 turning point 7:50 AlphaGo vs Lee Sedol 9:05 Attention Is All You Need 10:30 ChatGPT: one quiet Wednesday 12:14 The firing of Sam Altman 13:18 DeepSeek and the global AI race 15:15 Why it matters 💬 Tell me in the comments: which moment in the history of AI surprised you the most? 👍 Like and subscribe for the full story of more ideas that shaped the world. #HistoryOfAI #ArtificialIntelligence #AI
