This document is page 116 of a larger text, stamped with 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016919', indicating it is part of a congressional investigation (likely related to Epstein's ties to scientific funding/institutions like MIT). The text itself is a historical narrative detailing the origins of digital computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI). It focuses on the work of Claude Shannon at MIT and Bell Labs, and John von Neumann at the Institute for Advanced Study, specifically covering the transition from analog to digital systems, error correction thresholds, and the exponential scaling of data processing.
