One Viral Post = Big Wins: Are You Ready to Adapt?

How AI’s Quiet Evolution Sparked Its Biggest Comeback

AI’s transformation from symbolic logic to neural networks has been shaped by cycles of hype and quiet innovation. Following the “AI winter” of the 1980s, new ideas like probabilistic reasoning and embodied intelligence emerged, while neural networks, once sidelined, redefined AI in the 2010s.

This growth, powered by big data and deep learning, laid the foundation for today’s generative AI boom.

The field’s ability to rebound from setbacks like the “AI winter” demonstrates how foundational research can spark breakthroughs. As neural networks and big data redefine what AI can achieve, tracing its history helps contextualize current advancements and temper expectations for the future.
