Once the stuff of science fiction, Artificial Intelligence is now a
part of everyday life. But the story of how it came into being is
not often told. This episode reveals its roots in neuropsychology
and observations of the physical processes in the brain that lead
to learning. The theorists who Donald and John discuss began their
work at a time when behaviorism, which by and large disouraged
attempts to look within the mind, dominated academic psychology.
But despite a few 'winters', AI has developed to the point where it
is now all-pervasive, and a driving force of change in
learning.
