For as long as we have been designing computers, artificial intelligence (AI) has been the final frontier. Building intelligent machines that can perceive the world as we do, understand our language, and learn from examples has been the life’s work of computer scientists for over five decades.

Yet, it took more than 50 years until computers were fast enough to calculate large deep neuronal networks. Smart scientist started to use large-scale GPUs to accelerate deep neural networks (DNNs) to ignite the big bang of modern AI. Since then, technology has evolved and is in use of many applications such as speech recognition, natural language processing, computer vision and autonomous vehicles. In this talk, the evolution of AI and the technology behind is explained in examples.
