According to tableau.com, AI was first introduced around the 1950s. The author wrote, “Alan Turing published his work ‘Computer Machinery and Intelligence’… used to measure computer intelligence. The term “artificial intelligence” was coined and came into popular use.” Since then, many “white collar” jobs have slowly been taken over by artificial intelligence.
