The AI Origin Story You Were Never Told

Good afternoon, futurist.
Think AI is a recent phenomenon? Think again.
Before Siri, before ChatGPT—even before color TVs took over American homes—AI was already on the drawing board.
It all started with a bold question from Alan Turing in 1950: “Can machines think?” What followed was 70+ years of wild breakthroughs, public hype, crushing failures, and a comeback so big it’s reshaping the world as we know it.
🔍 From rule-based logic to neural networks, from ELIZA to GPT-4—this isn’t just tech history, it’s the story of human ambition on steroids.
In our latest blog post + YouTube breakdown, we unpack:
The forgotten chatbot that fooled people in the '60s
How video game graphics accidentally turbocharged AI
The moment AI stopped being science fiction
And what this all means for YOUR future
This isn’t just about what AI can do.
It’s about what it’s about to become.
Stay smart,
