Detailed explanation-1: -In 1955, John McCarthy, then a young Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Dartmouth College, decided to organize a group to clarify and develop ideas about thinking machines. He picked the name ‘Artificial Intelligence’ for the new field.
Detailed explanation-2: -The 1956 Dartmouth Artificial Intelligence (AI) conference gave birth to the field of AI, and gave succeeding generations of scientists their first sense of the potential for information technology to be of benefit to human beings in a profound way.
Detailed explanation-3: -The term “artificial intelligence” is coined in a proposal for a “2 month, 10 man study of artificial intelligence” submitted by John McCarthy (Dartmouth College), Marvin Minsky (Harvard University), Nathaniel Rochester (IBM), and Claude Shannon (Bell Telephone Laboratories).
Detailed explanation-4: -Born from the vision of Turing and Minsky that a machine could imitate intelligent life, AI received its name, mission, and hype from the conference organized by McCarthy at Dartmouth University in 1956. This marked the beginning of the boom phase of the AI hype cycle.
