Fun fact, the Perceptron is basically the first machine learning AI, and it was invented in 1943. It took a long time and many advancements in hardware before it became recognizable as the AI of today, but it's hardly a new idea.

People only discovered that multi-layer non-linear neural networks work at the 90s. It's not really reasonable to equate perceptrons with the stuff people use today.

Obviously there have been major improvements over the past 80 years, but that's still considered the first neural network. The need for multi-layer neural networks was recognized by 1969, but the knowledge of how to do that took awhile to be worked out.
