The Dartmouth Conference, held in the summer of 1956, is widely considered the birthplace of artificial intelligence as a field of study. Organized by John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Nathaniel Rochester, and Claude Shannon, this event brought together a group of scientists who proposed that “every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it.” This conference laid the groundwork for future AI research and development.
