The Dartmouth Workshop on Artificial Intelligence, held in the summer of 1956 at Dartmouth College, is widely regarded as the founding event of artificial intelligence as a field of study. Organized by John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Nathaniel Rochester, and Claude Shannon, the workshop brought together prominent researchers to explore the possibility of creating machines that could simulate aspects of human intelligence. The organizers 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.” The workshop laid the foundational ideas for AI, fostering discussions on neural networks, automata theory, symbolic reasoning, and more. It marked the beginning of AI as a distinct scientific discipline and spurred ongoing research and development in the field.
