The Odyssey of Artificial Intelligence: Code, Consciousness, and the Human Future What if machines could dream or discover what makes us truly human? We travel into the depths of artificial intelligence in Fatih Bildirici's Explain The Explainables podcast. In a world where code begins to mimic consciousness and ethical dilemmas merge with innovation, we open the mysterious 'black boxes' of neural networks, uncover algorithmic biases, and question whether we are pioneers or mere spectators in the rise of silicon.

Decoding Symbolic AI: History of Good Old Fashioned Artificial Intelligence

In this episode, we delve deeper into the foundations, history, and current importance of Good Old-Fashioned Artificial Intelligence (GOFAI) and Symbolic AI. Discover the adventure of researchers taking the first steps of artificial intelligence from the 1950s onwards, designing systems based on logic, rules, and symbols to mimic human intelligence.

What Are We Talking About?

History and Foundations: The birth of GOFAI, the role of the Dartmouth Conference, and the visions of pioneers such as Allen Newell, Herbert Simon, and Marvin Minsky.

Rise of Expert Systems: The achievements and limitations of landmark projects such as MYCIN (medical diagnostics), DENDRAL (chemical analysis), SHRDLU (natural language processing).

Challenges and AI Winters: Frame Problem (unexpected situations), knowledge representation issues, and disappointments caused by overly optimistic predictions.

Modern Connections: How GOFAI-inspired Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) and neuro-symbolic systems (deep learning + logic) are creating more transparent and reliable AI.
