I actually have four out of the five episodes on videotape, including the excellent one on Charles Babbage, but ironically, I never did catch the fifth episode, the one on artificial intelligence. I was starting to think I had lost my chance forever. Wow, so glad to see this groundbreaking documentary again.

Surely emergence of true AGI will have to be enabled by the exponential growth. You mean cognitive computing?

A robot, yes. Artificial, yes (inorganic). But using computation of the kind in the documentary? Nope.

Atanasoff invented the first digital computer in the 1930s at Iowa State College. Challenges to his claim were resolved in 1973 when the Honeywell v. Sperry Rand lawsuit ruled that Atanasoff was the inventor of the computer.[1][2][3][4] His special-purpose machine has come to be called the Atanasoff–Berry Computer." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Vincent_Atanasoff “John Vincent Atanasoff (October 4, 1903 – June 15, 1995) was an American physicist and inventor.He is half Bulgarian, half Italian.
