AI Hardware and Programming Evolution

1. Introduction

In the late 2010s, Artificial Intelligence (AI) experienced rapid growth due to advancements in
hardware and software. The shift from CPUs to GPUs and efficient programming languages played
a major role.

2. CPU vs GPU in AI

CPUs were initially used but are inefficient for parallel tasks. GPUs replaced them due to their
ability to perform multiple operations simultaneously.
