Eighty years of artificial intelligence, drawn as a map
Eighty years of artificial intelligence, drawn as geography. Time runs roughly west to east. Borders, sizes and jokes are editorial, and they're meant to be argued with.
The painting was made with AI image models. The history on each placard is meant to be true, and recent claims are dated because they go stale quickly. Many details are affectionate teasing, not reporting, and the "why it matters" lines are our own opinion.
The perceptron, XOR network and GAN train in your browser. Other demos use pretrained models, recorded attention weights or mathematical examples, with explanations beside them. Demo inputs stay on your device.
