While the world was captivated by the launch of ChatGPT, artificial intelligence had already been working in the shadows for over seventy years. In this episode, Herman and Corn dive into the "invisible" infrastructure of AI—from the 1970s medical systems that outperformed doctors to the Cold War-era submarine detection algorithms. They explore how industries like finance, logistics, and the postal service were the original pioneers of the technology we now take for granted. Join us as we uncover the fascinating history of non-conversational AI and how these silent systems continue to shape our modern world, from AlphaFold’s biological breakthroughs to AI-powered agriculture.
