A History of Artificial Intelligence
The dream of artificial intelligence is older than you think. Ten episodes tracing AI from the bronze giants of antiquity to the algorithms of today.
Before the computer, before the circuit board, before the very word algorithm — humanity was already dreaming of minds it could build. This series traces that dream from ancient myth to modern machine, one episode at a time.

About This Series
Most histories of AI begin in the 1950s, with Turing and Dartmouth. This one begins with the gods — with bronze giants forged by Hephaestus, clay servants animated by sacred words, and mechanical wonders built two thousand years before the Industrial Revolution.
Ten episodes, from mythology through philosophy, through Babbage and Lovelace, through the wartime machines, through the winters and revivals, to the deep learning decade still unfolding around us.
Every age imagined the thinking machine. This is their story.
