AI Development and Application Through History

Artificial Intelligence (AI) originated from the Dartmouth Conference in 1956, where foundational concepts were established, including the Turing Test proposed by Alan Turing. Today, AI is increasingly integrated into various products, but many manufacturers, particularly OEMs, struggle to implement it effectively, seeking simpler solutions like AI-on-a-chip technologies, as demonstrated by AONDevices' new edge AI chips. Recent studies have shown that AI can analyze human gait with remarkable precision, offering insights into health and identity, with models achieving high recognition accuracy by leveraging diverse datasets. Gait analysis, as explored in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface, emphasizes the importance of dataset diversity for better model performance. The evolution of AI is compared to the discovery of fire, highlighting both its transformative potential and inherent challenges. Lastly, the experience of walking can enhance interactions with digital companions, creating a rhythm and connection between the physical and virtual worlds.
