That workshop coined the term "artificial intelligence," but those two months quietly turned into a 70-year scientific marathon.For decades, the industry endured crushing "AI winters" as researchers discovered that human intelligence couldn't simply be reduced to hand-coded logical rules. The escape began in the 1990s when the focus shifted to pattern recognition, culminating in 1997 when IBM's Deep Blue defeated world chess champion Garry Kasparov. Yet, for all its brilliance, AI remained confined to carefully defined laboratory domains.Then came November 2022.OpenAI released ChatGPT, and seven decades of academic research suddenly acquired a chat box. That interface changed everything, allowing ordinary people to experience what researchers had spent their entire lives building. AI had finally escaped the laboratory.Since that launch, the capability curve has gone vertical. Just this week, OpenAI…
