Contents

While looking back on the overall history of AI, this will provide an easy-to-understand explanation for beginners on how conversational AI was born and has developed.

Tracing the flow from early research in the mid-20th century through machine learning, deep learning, and finally to generative AI, this will gently introduce how AI learns from large amounts of data and produces plausible answers.

Additionally, we will touch on current issues such as misinformation, bias, copyright, and personal information, and consider how we should engage with AI, which will become increasingly familiar in the future, including future challenges.
