The Dartmouth

The Dartmouth Conference, held in 1956 at Dartmouth College, is widely considered the birth of artificial intelligence. It was a pioneering meeting where researchers gathered to discuss and explore the possibility of machines simulating human intelligence. The event brought together computer scientists, mathematicians, and psychologists who laid the groundwork for AI as a scientific discipline. Their ideas aimed to develop computer programs capable of reasoning, learning, and problem-solving, which has since evolved into the diverse field of artificial intelligence we know today.
