The AI Winter
Image generated with DALL-E by OpenAI The AI Winter refers to a period of reduced funding and declining interest in artificial intelligence research during the late twentieth century. This slowdown was largely driven by overly optimistic expectations about AI capabilities and the absence of practical, scalable applications. Early researchers believed human level intelligence could be achieved within a few decades. When those expectations were not met, enthusiasm and financial
