The History of AI Explained: Crash Course Futures of AI #1

In 1965, Moore’s Law predicted how computers would become smaller, faster, and more powerful than ever before. But here in 2025, we’re on the brink of a new revolution – where we’re teaching those computers to think for themselves. As we look into the future we plan to share with AI, we have to think carefully about where it’s been, what it can do, and where it’s going. AI benchmarks and scaling laws help us understand what AI is, and will be, capable of. At least for now.

P.S. Wondering if we used AI to create this series? Nope! Every Complexly video is lovingly, painstakingly human-made.
