History of AI: From Turing to Today

 History of AI: From Turing to Today


1940s - 1950s: The Foundations


Alan Turing (1950): Proposed the idea of a machine that could simulate human intelligence in his paper “Computing Machinery and Intelligence”. Introduced the famous Turing Test to evaluate machine intelligence.


Early computers were developed, but hardware was limited.


1956: The Birth of AI as a Field


The term “Artificial Intelligence” was coined at the Dartmouth Conference by John McCarthy and others, marking the official start of AI research.


1960s - 1970s: Early Enthusiasm and Symbolic AI


Researchers developed rule-based systems and symbolic AI (also called "Good Old-Fashioned AI" or GOFAI), focusing on logic and knowledge representation.


Programs like ELIZA (an early chatbot) were created.


Progress slowed due to limited computing power and overly optimistic expectations, leading to the first “AI winter” (a period of reduced funding and interest).


1980s: Expert Systems and Revival


Rise of Expert Systems, which encoded expert knowledge into rules for decision making (e.g., medical diagnosis).


Renewed interest and investment in AI research.


1990s: Machine Learning and Big Data


Shift from rule-based AI to statistical methods and machine learning.


IBM’s Deep Blue defeated world chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997, showcasing AI's strategic capabilities.


2000s: The Rise of Data and Deep Learning


Explosion of digital data and more powerful GPUs enabled training of deep neural networks.


AI began to excel in image and speech recognition tasks.


2010s: AI Goes Mainstream


Breakthroughs like AlexNet (2012) advanced deep learning for image classification.


AI-powered virtual assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant became common.


AlphaGo defeated human Go champions, a milestone in complex strategy games.


2020s: Generative AI and Beyond


Development of large-scale transformer models like GPT (which I’m based on!), BERT, and others revolutionized natural language understanding and generation.


AI applications expanded in creative fields, healthcare, autonomous vehicles, and more.


Growing awareness of AI ethics, fairness, and regulation.

Handling Frames and Iframes Using Playwright

Handling Frames and Iframes Using Playwright When automating modern web applications, you’ll often come across frames or iframes—HTML elements used to embed another HTML document within the current page. If you're using Playwright for browser automation, knowing how to handle frames properly is crucial for interacting with elements inside them. In this blog, we’ll walk through how to identify, access, and interact with frames and iframes using Playwright with code examples in JavaScript and Python. 🧾 What Are Frames and Iframes? <frame>: Rarely used now; part of the outdated <frameset> HTML structure. <iframe> (inline frame): Embeds another HTML page inside the current one. Common for third-party content like ads, maps, or payment gateways. 🎯 Why Frames Matter in Automation Elements inside an iframe are not part of the main DOM, so trying to interact with them directly will result in errors unless you switch the context to the frame. 🔍 Locating an Iframe in Pla...
