The concept of mechanizing human thoughts dates back to ancient tales like Talos, a giant bronze man built by Hephaestus in Greek mythology.
In 1950, Alan Turing introduced the Turing Test to determine if machines can exhibit intelligent behavior akin to humans, sparking AI research and experiments.
The term 'artificial intelligence' was formally coined at the Dartmouth Conference in 1956, setting the stage for a roadmap in AI research.
Despite setbacks and AI winters in the 1970s and 1980s, the advent of Machine Learning in the 1990s revitalized AI, leading to significant breakthroughs in various domains.
