Question for you, as someone relatively new to the world of AI (well, not exactly new - I took many courses in AI, including neural networks, but in the late 90s... the world is just a tad different now!)

Is there any good summary of the history of AI/deep learning from, say, late 00s/2010 to the present? I think learning some of this history would really help be better understand how we ended up at the current state of the art.

I've been following a data science course called "The Data Science Course 2023: Complete Data Science Bootcamp" at Udemy.

The course starts all the way back from basic statistics and goes through things like linear regression and supposedly will arrive at neural networks and machine learning at some point.

So I don't know if something like this is exactly what you're looking for, but I think that, in general, if one wants to learn about (the history) AI, then it might be a good idea to start from statistics and learn about how we got from statistics to where we are now.
