‘In 1950, “when computers were new and unimpressive by today’s standards,” Alan Turing first suggested the “possibility of intelligent machines.” Turing proposed the “Imitation Game,” by which a human judge would type questions to a computer and a human; the computer won if the judge could not identify which answers were machine generated. Turing explored the idea only as a mathematical possibility. But only five years later, the Logic Theorist emerged, “a program designed to mimic the problem solving skills of a human.” A year later, the program was presented at a conference where the term artificial intelligence (“AI”) was first coined. There begins the story of AI, these key moments set off the next seven decades of development. Thus, began our descent into the “Code-Dependent” “Algorithm Age.” An age where algorithms are “everywhere, in everything”, “silent workhorses aligning datasets and systematizing the world.”’
