We start with a little history: from integrated circuits in cameras (over 50 years ago, can you believe it?), then the grunt work that led to ‘intelligent metering’. After that, only 20-odd years ago, came the first digital revolution that you know all about it. Now, today’s use of machine intelligence in picture-making is so ingrained, we don’t even realise much of our digital photography depends heavily on high-level computing.
