1 How AI is saving billions of years of human research time | Max Jaderberg 19:15
Episode 49 - Numeric Control and Digital Westerns
Manage episode 284423222 series 2527547
Saga II was a program developed in 1960 that automatically wrote screenplays for TV westerns. Outwardly it looks like artificial intelligence, but that's not entirely accurate. Saga has much more in common with CNC software than AI. This episode we take a look at how the same technology that automated manufacturing found it's way into digital westerns, and how numerically controlled mills are remarkably similar to stage plays.
