Internet Archive collection highlights vintage AI, contrasts with modern concerns

Jason Scott, writing for the Internet Archive's blog, has curated a new collection titled "Vintage Artificial Intelligence." This collection features emulated software packages from the 1970s through the 1990s, showcasing the early concepts and experiences of thinking machines. The article contrasts these historical explorations with contemporary concerns about AI, noting that a majority of adults under 30 now express more concern than excitement about AI, largely due to anticipated job losses.
