The creation of the electronic brain was based on cybernetics and the early research on neural networks, and
the accumulated knowledge regarding human neural signals and their electric pathways. The framework of the
electronic brain was further based on studies by Claude Shannon (The Information Theory), Alan Turing
(Theory of Computation). Shannon's Information Theory explored digital signals, while Turing's Computation
Theory explained that all computations can be processed digitally. The research regarding neural networks
gave birth to many AI projects, including Johns Hopkins Beast and Walter's turtles. The projects were
controlled by analog circuitry without any digital metrics, including symbolic reasoning.

By 1987, AI started to fall into its second AI winter as dozens of companies failed to deliver viable AI solutions,
lessening the demand for AI and eventually losing the financial support from investors and hardware/software
companies.
Additionally, the Expert Solutions were proving to be too expensive; however, even without the wide-ranging
commercial solutions, the AI field continued to progress behind closed doors.
2.3. AI in Cloud Computing (Deep Learning and Big Data analytics: 1993 - present)
By 2011, AI revived again, primarily due to the enhanced computing power that supported its applications In
1997, Deep Blue became the first computer AI chess to beat the World Champion, Garry Kasparov.
The Deep Blue was reportedly 10 million times faster than Ferranti Mark 1. A Mckinsey report 'Big Data, The
Next Frontier for Innovation, competition, and productivity' states that "By 2009, all sectors in the US had at
least 200 terabytes of stored data" [5].

The 2000s proved to be the age of AI as the computing power and resources increased further. By 2016, the
market value for AI-based products had reached 8 billion, and AI applications like deep learning and Machine
Learning progressed, giving birth to enhanced image processing, speech recognition, text analysis, and Big Data
processing. [4]
The following timeline shows the evolution of AI.
