Where did AI really come from? Where did it all start and where's it all going?

In this talk let's explore where AI all started. Drawing on my experience founding an AI company in 2016 (which is still going), let's embark on a journey through the history of artificial intelligence (AI), delving into its origins and casting a visionary gaze towards the future. From humble beginnings to the cutting-edge advancements of today, we unravel the how behind AI's evolution, exploring the pivotal moments, key influencers, and transformative breakthroughs that have shaped its trajectory. We'll include a look at the origins of GitHub Copilot and how it's shaping the lives of developers.

This talk doesn't just focus on the past. We also look into the uncharted territories of supposedly AI's limitless potential. We'll consider some of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. How AI might potentially redefine industries, reshape human interactions, and impact the very fabric of our existence. I'll also leave you with some takeaways on skills we need as humans to stay ahead of the game when it comes to AI, and ensure we are equipped to have a job in a world where AI will seemingly be working alongside us.
