Welcome everyone to the AI and Technology podcast, your source for all things artificial intelligence and internet technology. I'm your host, dj Rocco, and today we have got a fascinating show lined up for you. We are taking a deep dive into the realm of artificial intelligence, where it began, where it is now and where it is poised to go in the future. We will also be interviewing software developer Marcus Kobalt to discuss evolution from standard business software to leaping into artificial intelligence to create business content. So grab your earbuds and let's decode the world of AI. Before we get started, I want to give a quick shout out to our sponsors, executiveaddresscom, bringing cutting edge virtual office and a professional presence to your home based business.

Speaker 1:

It all started in the mid 20th century. The year was 1956, and a group of bright minds gathered at Dartmouth College. There the term artificial intelligence was born. Computer science was just in its infancy, but these pioneers had a vision of future where machines could simulate intelligent behavior and even learn. Talk about being ahead of their time. Right, you know it is ironic that in my childhood days I was looking at cartoon shows like the Jetsons and other space shows, and it literally gave us a glimpse into the future. Now that is interesting.

Speaker 1:

Fast forward to the 1980s and we hit what we call the AI winter, a period where the hype surrounding a I met the cold, harsh reality of technological limitations. Funding dried up as quickly as the optimism that once fueled the field. But like all great stories, it was the dark before the dawn. The millennium turned, and so did the fortunes of AI, thanks to a few key elements. Data became the new oil, and computing power expanded beyond our wildest dreams. Deep learning took center stage, launching AI into the stratosphere. Suddenly, computers could outplay humans at chess. They could recognize faces, understand speech and, wait for it, recommend what series you should binge watch next. It was revolutionary.

Speaker 1:

Today, ai is everywhere. It's assisting doctors and diagnosing diseases. It's in self-driving cars. It's even in your smartphone's camera, making sure your selfies are flawless. Now, that's what I call progress. The question on everyone's minds, though what's next?

Speaker 1:

While preparing my podcast show and my research, I ran across an article titled should artificial intelligence be used in conjunction with neuroimaging in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. It was written by Sophia Merkin and Benedict Albenzi. First, alzheimer's disease has been a challenge to cure for like forever. I have to admit, it is a little scary to even think to hand over medical to artificial intelligence. So yes, I am a skeptic. While I will not go into a great deal of information on the article, I will quote how the medical industry views the use of AI. The use of AI with neuroimaging for the diagnosis of AD is a rapidly emerging field and has the potential to solve these problems. Ai has the ability to integrate complex multimodal data, improve the accuracy of biomarker-based testing and has a promising future providing accurate and widely accessible early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. We will take a brief sponsor break and will return to speak to software developer Marcus Cobalt. Thank you for staying locked into AI and Technology Podcast.

Speaker 1:

Let's dig right in, marcus. Where do you see the future of AI heading in? Let's say the next decade.

Speaker 3:

The short answer is integration. Ai will become more woven into the fabric of our daily lives. We'll likely see more collaborative forms of AI where humans and intelligent systems work together seamlessly. Think along the lines of enhanced cognitive assistance. Reality augmented by AI insights and machine learning models that are not just reactive but proactive in helping us make decisions.

Speaker 1:

Incredible to think about. But are there any concerns we should be mindful of?

Speaker 3:

Absolutely. With great power comes great responsibility right. We need to be vigilant about ethical considerations, privacy and security. Ai is a tool and it's only as good as the hands that wield it. We must ensure these systems are fair, accountable and transparent.
