Field
Artificial Intelligence
Also Known As AI
Computing Methodologies
Artificial Intelligence studies how to build systems that perform tasks which, when done by people, are said to require intelligence: reasoning, learning, perception and language understanding among them. The field takes its name from a 1956 summer workshop at Dartmouth College, organized by John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Nathaniel Rochester and Claude Shannon, where McCarthy proposed the term. Its history has moved through repeated cycles of rapid progress and disillusionment, commonly called AI winters, as different approaches, symbolic reasoning, expert systems, and later statistical machine learning and neural networks, rose and fell in favor.
Facts
Origin YearThe year of the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence, where John McCarthy proposed the field's name. Core ConcernHow to build systems that reason, learn, perceive or use language in ways that would be called intelligent if done by a person. 2 Connections
