The Rise of Artificial Intelligence: A Historical Perspective  and the Societal Impacts

This paper explores the evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) from its "birth" in the 50s, following the seminal question posed by Alan Turing "Can Machines Think?", and traces the developments in the past that helped propel AI to its current state in the modern era. The analysis extends beyond a historical overview, examining the multifaceted impact of AI on human society. It touches on both the advantages and disadvantages of integrating AI into our society, whilst exploring its influence socially, economically, along with the potential societal dangers. By critically evaluating these pros and cons, the paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of AI's current place in our world
