Computer Chronicles of AI

"The series was created by Stewart Cheifet (later the show's co-host), who was then the station manager of the College of San Mateo's KCSM-TV (now independent non-commercial KPJK). The show was initially broadcast as a local weekly series beginning in 1981. The show was, at various points in its run, produced by KCSM-TV, WITF-TV in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and KTEH in San Jose. It became a national series on PBS in 1984, running until 2002, with Cheifet as host."

"Current AI is concerned with duplicating the results of a human brain."

"Ada Lovelace 1942,"

https://sk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace

"was an English mathematician . She is best known for her detailed description of the workings of the "analytical engine" – a mechanical computer designed by the English polymath Charles Babbage as a more complex version of his first "difference engine" . Among her notes on the analytical engine was an algorithm for calculating Bernoulli numbers , which is often considered the first published algorithm that could be processed by a computer, which has led to Ada Lovelace being cited as the first computer programmer ."

Herb Lechner,

"Herb Lechner: with SRI International, served as both co-host and interviewee in some of the earliest episodes in Season 1, with a final one-off appearance in 1986 in the episode Artificial Intelligence."

John McCarthy

"John McCarthy (September 4, 1927 – October 24, 2011) was an American computer scientist and cognitive scientist. He was one of the founders of the discipline of artificial intelligence, and part of just a small group of artificial intelligence researchers in the 1950s and 1960s. He co-authored the proposal for the Dartmouth workshop which coined the term "artificial intelligence" (AI), led the development of the symbolic programming language family Lisp and had a large influence in the language ALGOL, popularized time-sharing, and created garbage collection."

Nihls Nilsson,

"Nils John Nilsson (February 6, 1933 – April 23, 2019) was an American computer scientist. He was one of the founding researchers in the discipline of artificial intelligence. He was the first Kumagai Professor of Engineering in computer science at Stanford University from 1991 until his retirement. He is particularly known for his contributions to search, planning, knowledge representation, and robotics."

What do you think these guests would think of ChatGPT in 2026?

I am not going to transcribe the video, but I am listening to it and doing some further reading on these guests and some of the words they mention that relate to areas of research. Please watch with me, and take your own notes to leave in the comments!
