History

Historical Context

The Dartmouth Conference in 1956, organized by John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Claude Shannon, and Nathaniel Rochester, is recognized as the founding event of artificial intelligence (AI). This pivotal workshop brought together key thinkers to explore "thinking machines," leading to significant advancements in AI. Today, institutions like OpenAI continue to innovate, with projections indicating that by 2028, 15% of work decisions will be AI-driven.
