 How AI Found its Place in Business:
A Historical Look
From self-driving cars to recommendation algorithms, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become
an inseparable fabric of our lives, especially in the dynamic world of business. But amidst the
current AI boom, it's crucial to remember the intriguing journey that led us here.

1 Early Seeds (1956-1986):

The term "artificial intelligence" itself was first coined in 1956 by John McCarthy, marking the dawn of a
revolutionary era. Soon after, in 1961, General Motors introduced the first industrial robot, a glimpse into the
future of automated production. 1965 saw the development of the first "expert system," a precursor to
today's sophisticated knowledge-based applications. Chatbots also entered the scene in 1966 with ELIZA,
paving the way for future AI-powered conversational interfaces.

The formation of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) in 1979 signified the growing
interest in the field. Notably, Japan's massive $850 million investment in AI computer systems in 1981 further
catalyzed development, leading to breakthroughs like the first driverless car in 1986.

Breakthroughs and Horror Stories (1997-2023): 2

Breakthroughs

Actroid boasting near-human facial expressions in 2000. In 2003, the Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity showcased AI-powered
autonomous navigation on another planet.

As online commerce rose, AI found its footing in personalizing user experiences. By 2006, companies like Google and Amazon were
leveraging AI for targeted advertising, revolutionizing online marketing.

However, AI's journey hasn't been without its bumps. The "Chevrolet $1 car" hoax demonstrated the potential for misinformation fueled
by AI, while data breaches like the Samsung ChatGBT incident and the use of biased algorithms in recruiting software highlighted the
ethical concerns surrounding this powerful technology.

 3 Enter ChatGPT:

One of the most popular AI tools today, ChatGPT, deserves special mention. Developed by OpenAI, it
utilizes a massive language model to generate human-quality text, translate languages, write different
kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way.

Millions of users utilize ChatGPT for various purposes, from writing prompts and templates to crafting
business communications. Its ability to digest large data sets and modify responses for clarity makes it
a versatile tool. However, limitations remain. As the current version isn't updated past 2021, factual
accuracy can be an issue. Additionally, concerns around sensitive data handling, response originality,
and AI detectability necessitate cautious usage.

4 Early Seeds (1956-1986):

As AI's influence expands, governments are stepping up to establish regulations. New York City's
"Automated Employment Decision Tool Law" and the White House's Executive Order on AI usage,
authenticity, and reporting are indicative of this growing focus on responsible AI development and
deployment.

Remember!
AI is a powerful tool, but understanding its history and current
limitations is essential for responsible and successful
implementation in your business. By approaching AI with
awareness and ethical considerations, we can empower it to
drive a brighter future for all.

tools can scan surveys, identifying areas of concern, quantifying employee engagement, and providing actionable
insights to foster improved morale and retention.
