1950 — Turing's Question: Alan Turing asks 'Can machines think?'

1951 — First Neural Network: Marvin Minsky builds network with 3,000 vacuum tubes

1980s — AI Winter: Neural networks research abandoned by AI field

2000 — Neural Revival: Researchers begin using neural networks for language models

According to [Futurist Speaker](https://futuristspeaker.com/artificial-intelligence/80-years-to-an-overnight-success-the-real-history-of-artificial-intelligence/), Turing's simple question ignited a field that is now reshaping what it means to be human.
