Welcome to the Journey: Why AI Matters for Travel Marketing Now
In order to go forward, it is important to look backwards.
John McCarthy first used the term AI during a summer research project in 1956 at Dartmouth. But there are earlier instances from 1943, when McCulloch and Pitts were working on neural networks, and then, of course, Alan Turing’s concept of a “thinking machine” in 1950.
Artificial Intelligence is not a new concept, but rather a continuous line of innovation over the past 75 years. Since the first use of AI was used to play chess in 1952, we thought playing a game here would be the perfect way to learn and pay homage to the roots of artificial intelligence.
