Keynote: AI is having its moment ... again

Talk (60 min)
Wednesday
The current hype around AI can feel like something totally new, but it’s not the first time we’ve been here. In fact, this is the third “AI summer” in the past 70 years. Each one came with huge excitement, massive promises, and eventually, a reality check. By looking back at the early days of the Dartmouth Conference, the boom of expert systems, and our current era of deep learning, we can get a better sense of how we got here and where we might be headed.
AI
This talk takes a step back from the hype to explore the patterns that keep showing up in AI’s history. We’ll look at what technologies stuck around after each wave, how those breakthroughs shaped industries from gaming to defence to search, and what might actually last from today’s advances. AI’s history doesn’t repeat itself exactly, but it definitely rhymes.
