Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been a topic of academic research since its inception in 1955, but it wasn’t until decades later that it began to be applied to everyday life. The media has painted an unrealistic picture of AI’s potential, often leading to disappointment and a shift in attention. However, AI is now being used to generate impressive copy and is revolutionizing how networks are managed. The definition of AI has evolved over the years, with the Turing Test being one of the earliest definitions. AI is now focused on using heuristics and probability to execute programming code, and is beginning to have commercial applications.
