I am writing a paper in my CIS class on the advancement of artificial intelligence, and have come across a problem trying to think of some interesting topics. I am turning to you brilliant people for help in this matter.
I'd say that the story of AlphaGo and the way it beat top pro go players a few decades earlier than expected from AI is one of the most remarkable ones.
The concept of Artificial General Intellgigence (AGI) is I think interesting to be included in your CIS paper. Here is a nice book about it https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/978-3-540-68677-4.pdf
