AI is all the rage this year, and there's no question it's going to be a huge element of future technology, both mainstream and military.
But it's also not as new as you might think.
This trend didn't just pop up overnight.
This technology has been in development for decades.
And most of that development has occurred right out in the open.
Just for example...
Do you remember IBM's "Watson," the supercomputer that competed on Jeopardy?
That was an AI construct and it was paraded right out in front of everybody.
The same is true of "Deep Blue" the supercomputer that beat world chess champion Garry Kasparov in a pair of six-game chess matches in 1997.
