AI is hype - again. But the neural networks powering billion-dollar GPTs today are far from new. Decades ago, these ideas were even ostracized by a rival school of thought that has since faded from the spotlight. Together with Téo Sanchez, a fellow at the Munich Interactive Intelligence Initiative (LMU Munich), you will trace the history of artificial intelligence - the bold speculations, failures, and eccentric protagonists surrounding it - and might be able to sketch a better view of where we are heading next, and what kind of machines we truly want to build.

Everyone is talking about AI - again. After all, the neural networks that are now powering billion-dollar GPTs ("Generative Pre-trained Transformers") are by no means new. These ideas were conceived decades ago and pushed out of the limelight by a rival school of thought. Together with Téo Sanchez, Fellow at the Munich Interactive Intelligence Initiative at LMU Munich, the history of artificial intelligence will be traced with all its bold speculations, failures and eccentric characters. The aim of the lab is to gain a better overview of where the journey is heading and what kind of machines we really want to build.
