It's easy to assume AI means generative AI, because that's what gets the attention. But generative AI is one specialized part of a much larger field, and different tasks call for different kinds of AI—recommendation engines, for instance, are not chatbots.

In this video, you'll trace a brief history of AI from the first neural network theories of the 1940s through the AI winters to the deep learning era and today's generative boom. You'll learn how the key terms nest inside one another and leave with a mental map you can use to place any AI tool you encounter.
