What are the AI Milestones, Past & Future?

add this…

Fast forward to 200 BCE, and we get the Antikythera Mechanism—a hand-cranked device that could predict astronomical positions and eclipses. Some call it the first known analog computer.

By 800 CE, Persian mathematician Al-Khwarizmi introduced the concept of algorithms—the very thing that powers today’s AI.

By 1000 CE, navigation and computation tools like the astrolabe helped sailors chart the seas, using mathematics and observation—more proof that machines were already expanding human intelligence.

Michael Alan Prestwood
Author & Natural Philosopher
Prestwood writes on science-first philosophy, with particular attention to the convergence of disciplines. Drawing on his TST Framework, his work emphasizes rational inquiry grounded in empirical observation while engaging questions at the edges of established knowledge. With TouchstoneTruth positioned as a living touchstone, this work aims to contribute reliable, evolving analysis in an emerging AI era where the credibility of information is increasingly contested.
