The history of Artificial Intelligence is not necessarily that of AI alone. Many inventions, advances in mathematics and medicine, as well as philosophy and other theories have all contributed to where we are today. Without the Gutenberg printing press, for example, we wouldn't have been able to spread knowledge, as the church back then held the monopoly on spreading knowledge.

Without Galileo's telescope or the steam engine, we would have never sent rovers to Mars. As we read more and more about the topic, we discovered that the history of Artificial Intelligence can be more or less divided into early beginnings, 15th - 17th century, Industrial Revolution and 20th century until now.

Each era brought important new things that made us come closer to the next big thing to be thought of, invented or built.
