Top 5 Structural Foundations: Origins
- The first half of the 20th century transitioned artificial intelligence from theoretical mathematical notations into the physical reality of electronic engineering. In the shadow of two world wars, thinkers abandoned mechanical gears in favor of electric relays and vacuum tubes. This was the era that defined the mathematical limits of what machines could calculate, birthed the first electronic brains, and saw Alan Turing pose the fundamental question that permanently altered the trajectory of human civilization — "Can machines think?".
