As we know, Alan Turing first posed the question “can machines think?” But, where did the term “AI” come from? In 1956, two years after the death of Turing, John McCarthy had organized a summer workshop at Dartmouth College to analyze and develop ideas on machine learning – calling the workshop “artificial intelligence” and is considered to be the founding moment of AI. Not long after, by the mid-1960s, AI research quickly grew and was funded by the Department of Defense and AI labs have been developed around the country. Since then, AI has developed into a field of research and is now a leading technological paradigm of all things autonomous.
