The term "Artificial Intelligence" was coined by computer scientist John McCarthy in a proposal dated August 31, 1955, for a summer research project at Dartmouth College. Co-authored by McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Nathaniel Rochester and Claude Shannon, the proposal outlined a two-month study with 10 researchers aimed at determining whether machines could simulate human intelligence by learning language, forming concepts and solving problems traditionally requiring human cognition. The 1956 Dartmouth Summer Research Project is widely regarded as the founding moment of AI as a formal field of research.
