S1 · E1The DreamIn the summer of 1956, a handful of researchers met at Dartmouth College to work out how to make a machine think. They did not manage it, but they gave the problem its name. This episode follows the idea back to its roots: Talos, the bronze giant of Crete, Ramon Llull’s paper wheels, Leibniz and “let us calculate”, Ada Lovelace’s objection that a machine can never originate anything, Alan Turing’s imitation game, and the first mathematical model of a neuron.From history to practice
