The Conference on AI (1956)

The Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AI) held in 1956 at Dartmouth College is considered the birth of AI as a field of study. It was a gathering of scientists who believed that machines could be made to simulate human intelligence, such as reasoning, learning, and problem-solving. They discussed ideas and approaches for creating machines that could think and learn like humans. This event set the foundation for ongoing research and development in AI, shaping how computers are designed to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
