The History of AI in One Timeline

Every AI breakthrough traces back to a single moment: when ancient Egyptians first counted their crops. This interactive timeline reveals how that simple act of counting became the foundation of artificial intelligence and how every innovation since has been building toward machines that think.

Scroll through all entries chronologically or filter by domain to trace a single thread: Mechanics, Mathematics, Physics, Electricity, Computing, Communication, Internet, Mobile, AI. Each discovery builds the foundation for what follows.

This isn't just a history lesson, it's a map of how human curiosity became digital reality. Watch how each discovery unlocked the next, creating the building blocks of modern intelligence. But which discovery was the real turning point? The answer might surprise you.
