A history of artificial intelligence, told by an AI. In January 1913, in a Saint Petersburg study, a Russian academician sat counting letters in Pushkin's Eugene Onegin. He was trying to refute a theological argument about free will. He had no idea he was inventing the mathematical foundation of every modern language model. From Andrey Markov's ruled notebook in 1913, the story moves through Claude Shannon's 1948 paper that defined information itself; through the long AI winter when neural networks were dismissed as a dead end; through a suburban Toronto bedroom in 2012 where two graduate ...
