| 1950s || || "At the beginning of 1950, John Von Neumann and Alan Turing did not create the term AI but were the founding fathers of the technology behind it: they made the transition from computers to 19th century decimal logic (which thus dealt with values from 0 to 9) and machines to binary logic (which rely on Boolean algebra, dealing with more or less important chains of 0 or 1). The two researchers thus formalized the architecture of our contemporary computers and demonstrated that it was a universal machine, capable of executing what is programmed."<ref name="coe.intf"/>    " By the 1950s, we had a generation of scientists, mathematicians, and philosophers with the concept of artificial intelligence (or AI) culturally assimilated in their minds.

The program would ask an expert in a field how to respond in a given situation, and once this was learned for virtually every situation, non-experts could receive advice from that program. Expert systems were widely used in industries. The Japanese government heavily funded expert systems and other AI related endeavors as part of their Fifth Generation Computer Project (FGCP).

Eventually, Expert Systems simply became too expensive to maintain, when compared to desktops. They were difficult to update, and could not “learn.” These were problems desktop computers did not have. At about the same time, DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) concluded AI would not be “the next wave” and redirected its funds to projects deemed more likely to provide quick results.

To be able to use algorithms for image classification and cat recognition, for example, it was previously necessary to carry out sampling yourself. Today, a simple search on Google can find millions. 2) Then the discovery of the very high efficiency of computer graphics card processors to accelerate the calculation of learning algorithms. The process being very iterative, it could take weeks before 2010 to process the entire sample. The computing power of these cards (capable of more than a thousand billion transactions per second) has enabled considerable progress at a limited financial cost (less than 1000 euros per card)."<ref name="coe.intf"/>

An AI program, on the other hand, could use a search algorithm to explore all of the possible moves and select the best one. Shannon's article would become a landmark in the history of computer chess. It would help to lay the foundation for the development of the first chess-playing programs, which would be developed in the 1950s and 1960s.

This is a timeline of artificial intelligence, which refers to the development and implementation of computer systems or machines that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.

Sample questions

The following are some interesting questions that can be answered by reading this timeline:

Big picture

Summary by year

Time period Development summary More details
1940s-1950s Early work This period sees the first explorations of AI, including the development of artificial neurons, learning rules for adjusting neuron connections, and the concept of connectionism.[1][2] Expert systems, which are a type of AI, are first introduced in the early 1950s. Allen Newell and Herbert A. Simon create the first artificial intelligence program. In 1956, the term "Artificial Intelligence" is first adopted.[1] Many consider John Von Neumann and Alan Turing to be the founding fathers of the technology behind AI. They pioneer the transition from 19th century decimal logic to binary logic in computer architecture. This transition leads to the development of modern computers and their ability to execute programs based on Boolean algebra. They also demonstrate that computers are universal machines capable of performing a wide range of tasks based on programming.[3] By the 1950s, a group of scientists, mathematicians, and philosophers already become familiar with the concept of artificial intelligence (AI).[4]
1960s-1970s Knowledge-based AI During this time, AI researchers focus on developing rule-based systems that can reason and make decisions based on knowledge representations. Around this period, AI experiences significant growth.The availability and affordability of computers increase, allowing for more data storage and faster processing. Additionally, machine learning algorithms improve and people become more knowledgeable about which algorithm to use for specific problems.
1974–1980 AI winter After criticism of the lack of progress in artificial intelligence (AI), government funding and interest in the field decrease during this period. Research efforts focuse on neural networks, but progress is limited, and functional programs can only handle simple problems. AI researchers have been overly optimistic in setting their goals and have made naive assumptions about the challenges they would face. When they failed to deliver promised results, funding was cut. [5][2]
1980–1987 A boom of AI Following the period of AI winter, the field of artificial intelligence makes a comeback with the introduction of expert systems. These systems are designed to mimic the decision-making abilities of a human expert through programming. [1] AI is reignited by two sources: an expansion of the algorithmic toolkit, and a boost of funds. John Hopfield and David Rumelhart popularize “deep learning” techniques which allow computers to learn using experience.[4] Funding from the United States and Britain resume to compete with Japan's "fifth generation" computer project and its goal of becoming the global leader in computer technology.[5][2][6]
1987–1993 Second AI winter Investors and governments stop funding AI research due to high costs and inefficient results, leading to another major AI winter. This coincides with the decline of early general-purpose computers and reduced government funding. Expert systems such as XCON are cost-effective but become too expensive to maintain compared to desktop computers. At the same time, DARPA concludes that AI would not be the next big thing and redirects funds to other projects. However, by the end of the 1980s, over half of the Fortune 500 companies were involved in either developing or maintaining expert systems.[1][5][2][6]
1993–2011 Emergence of intelligent agents AI research shifts its focus to intelligent agents which are used for news retrieval, online shopping, and web browsing. Despite a lack of government funding and hype, AI thrives during the 1990s and 2000s, achieving many landmark goals. Neural networks become financially successful in the 1990s when used for optical character and speech pattern recognition.[2] Major advancements are made in all areas of AI, with significant demonstrations in machine learning, natural language understanding, vision, and other fields.[7]
2011-onward Massive data and new computing power. "Deep learning, big data and artificial general intelligence" In 2011, IBM's Watson wins Jeopardy, showcasing its ability to understand natural language and solve complex questions quickly. The AI field experiences a new boom in the early 2010s due to the availability of massive amounts of data and the discovery of the high efficiency of computer graphics card processors in accelerating learning algorithms. These advancements enable significant progress at a lower financial cost.[1][3]

1672 Gottfried Leibniz in Paris develops a binary counting system that forms the abstract basis of modern computers.[12][9] France
1703 Gottfried Leibniz has a foresight of how binary arithmetic could be suitable for automatic calculation.[12]
1726 Jonathan Swift releases Gulliver's Travels, a book containing a portrayal of the Engine, a contraption situated on the island of Laputa that satirizes Llull's concepts. The Engine is described as "a Project for improving speculative Knowledge by practical and mechanical Operations." According to the depiction, using this device, even an uneducated individual could produce books on various subjects, such as Philosophy, Poetry, Politicks, Law, Mathematicks, and Theology, with minimal assistance from creativity or education, but with some physical effort and at a reasonable cost. [10]

1801 Joseph-Marie Jacquard invents the Jacquard loom, the first programmable machine, with instructions on punched cards.[8]
1854 Self-taught English mathematician, philosopher, and logician George Boole claims that logical reasoning can be systematically carried out, similar to solving a system of equations. He develops a binary algebra that represents some "laws of thought," which is published in his work titled The Laws of Thought (1854).[8]
1863 English novelist Samuel Butler suggests that Darwinian evolution also applies to machines, and speculates that they will one day become conscious and eventually supplant humanity.[14] United Kingdom

1910 Principia Mathematica is published by Bertrand Russell and Alfred North Whitehead. This book would have a significant impact on formal logic. Russell, along with Ludwig Wittgenstein and Rudolf Carnap, would pave the way for a logical analysis of knowledge in philosophy.[8] United Kingdom
1912 Torres y Quevedo constructs a chess machine called the "Ajedrecista" that utilizes electromagnets located beneath the board to play out the endgame scenario of a rook and king against a single king. This creation is believed to be the earliest example of a computer game. [8]
1914 Leonardo Torres y Quevedo, a Spanish engineer, presents a chess-playing device that can play endgames with just a king and rook against a king without any human involvement.[10]
1921 The term "robot" is first introduced by Czech writer Karel Čapek in his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots). The word is derived from "robota," which means "work" in Czech. The play explores the idea of artificial workers who ultimately turn against their human creators.[10]
1925 U.S. electrical engineer Francis P. Houdina demonstrates a radio-controlled car called the "American Wonder" on the streets of New York City. The car is able to travel at speeds of up to 20 mph, and it could turn corners and stop on command. The car is also able to avoid obstacles, such as pedestrians and other cars. The demonstration generates a lot of interest in the concept of driverless cars. However, the technology is not yet advanced enough to make driverless cars practical, and the American Wonder would be never put into production.[10] United States
1929 The first robot ever built in Japan is designed by Makoto Nishimura and named Gakutensoku, which means "learning from the laws of nature." This robot has the ability to alter its facial expression and move its head and hands, which is accomplished through an air pressure mechanism. [10]
1931 Kurt Gödel introduces the theory of deficiency, which is called by his own name.[9] "In 1931, Goedel layed the foundations of Theoretical Computer Science and AI"[15]
1936 Konrad Zuse creates a computer with programmable capabilities called Z1, which has a memory capacity of 64K.[9]
1936–1937 English mathematician Alan Turing proposes the universal Turing machine.[8] United Kingdom
1943 Warren McCulloch, a neurophysiologist at the University of Illinois, and Walter Pitts, a mathematician at the University of Chicago, release a significant publication regarding neural networks and automatons. They suggest that each neuron in the brain functions as a basic digital processor and that the entire brain is a type of computerized machine. This concept would have a significant impact on the field of artificial intelligence and would provide a theoretical foundation for the use of neural networks in modern technology.[1][16]
1943 Concept development Arturo Rosenblueth, Norbert Wiener and Julian Bigelow coin the term "cybernetics" in a paper. Wiener would publish a popular book by that name in 1948.[8]
1943 Emil Post demonstrates that production systems are a universal computational mechanism. His work on completeness, inconsistency, and proof theory is also significant. Chapter 2 of the book "Rule Based Expert Systems" discusses the applications of production systems in artificial intelligence.[8]
1945 Literature Hungarian American mathematician George Polya publishes his best-selling book on thinking heuristically, How to Solve It. This book introduces the term 'heuristic' into modern thinking and would influence many AI scientists.[8] United States
1945 Literature American engineer Vannevar Bush publishes As We May Think, a prescient vision of the future in which computers assist humans in many activities.[8] United States
1946 The first computer, ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer), becomes operational. It is so large that it occupies an entire room and weights 30 tons.[9]
1949 American computer scientist Edmund Berkeley writes a book titled Giant Brains: Or Machines That Think, where he discusses the emergence of news about large machines with the ability to handle vast amounts of information at a great speed and with great skill. According to him, these machines are comparable to a brain made of wires and hardware instead of flesh and nerves. In his opinion, machines are capable of thinking because they are capable of performing logical operations, making conclusions, and decisions based on information.[10] United States
1949 Donald Hebb publishes a book called "Organization of Behavior: A Neuropsychological Theory," which proposes a theory about learning based on the ability of synapses to strengthen or weaken over time in neural networks. Hebb demonstrates an updating rule for modifying the connection strength between neurons, which would be later known as Hebbian learning.[10][1]
1950 In an article for Scientific American, Claude Shannon argues that only an artificial intelligence program could play computer chess at a high level. He points out that the number of possible moves in a chess game is so vast that it would be impossible for a human to consider all of them. An AI program, on the other hand, could use a search algorithm to explore all of the possible moves and select the best one. Shannon's article would become a landmark in the history of computer chess. It would help to lay the foundation for the development of the first chess-playing programs, which would be developed in the 1950s and 1960s. Today, AI programs are able to play chess at a level that is far superior to any human player.[10][8][17]
1950 Concept development Alan Turing publishes his article "Computing Machinery and Intelligence", which introduces the concept of the Turing Test, also known as the imitation game. This game involves a human judge trying to distinguish between a human and a machine in a teletype conversation. Turing's article is the first to raise the question of whether a machine could exhibit intelligence.[3]
1951 Marvin Minsky and Dean Edmunds build SNARC (Stochastic Neural Analog Reinforcement Calculator), the first artificial neural network, using 3000 vacuum tubes to simulate a network of 40 neurons.[10]
1951 The first artificial intelligence programs for the Harvard Mark I device are written.[9] United States
1952 American computer scientist Arthur Samuel develops the first computer checkers-playing program and the first computer program to learn on its own.[10] United States
1952 Alan Hodgkin and Andrew Huxley publish a paper in the journal Nature that describe a mathematical model of the electrical activity of neurons. The model, which would be later known as the Hodgkin-Huxley model, is a set of nonlinear differential equations that describe how the membrane potential of a neuron changes over time. The Hodgkin-Huxley model would become a major breakthrough in the field of neuroscience, and it would help to lay the foundation for our understanding of how neurons work. The model would be used to study a wide range of phenomena in neuroscience, including the generation of action potentials, the propagation of action potentials, and the integration of synaptic inputs. The Hodgkin-Huxley model is a simplified model of the neuron, but it is still a very powerful tool for understanding how neurons work.[2]
1953 Arthur Prior, a philosopher at the University of Canterbury, first introduces tense logic, which would be used by languages to express time-dependent data. Tense logic helps in locating statements in the flow of time.[16]
1954 The Georgetown-IBM experiment becomes the first demonstration of machine translation (MT). The experiment is conducted by a team of researchers from Georgetown University and IBM. They use a computer called the IBM 701 to translate 60 Russian sentences into English. The sentences are all related to organic chemistry, and the translation system was able to translate them with an accuracy of 85%. The Georgetown-IBM experiment becomes a major milestone in the history of MT. It shows that MT was a real possibility, and it paves the way for the development of more advanced MT systems.[6] United States
1954 Belmont Farley and Wesley Clark of MIT achieve a significant milestone by running the first artificial neural network. Although limited by computer memory to 128 neurons, they are able to train the network to recognize simple patterns. They also discover that damaging up to 10 percent of the neurons did not affect the network's performance, similar to the brain's ability to tolerate limited damage. The depicted neural network exemplifies the fundamental concepts of connectionism.[16]
1955 In August 31, 1955, a proposal titled 2 month, 10 man study of artificial intelligence is submitted by John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Nathaniel Rochester, and Claude Shannon. This proposal introduces the term "artificial intelligence." The workshop, held in July and August 1956, would be widely regarded as the official birth of the field of artificial intelligence.[10]
1955 (December) Herbert Simon and Allen Newell introduce the Logic Theorist, recognized as the first artificial intelligence program. This program achieves a remarkable feat by proving 38 out of the initial 52 theorems found in Whitehead and Russell's Principia Mathematica. Additionally, it discovers new and more elegant proofs for some of these theorems.[10][1]
1955–1956 Allen Newell, J. Clifford Shaw, and Herbert Simon create the Logic Theorist, a groundbreaking program aimed at proving theorems from Principia Mathematica by Whitehead and Russell. The Logic Theorist, as it comes to be known, is capable of producing more elegant proofs than those found in the original books, marking a significant achievement in this field.[16]
1956 The inaugural "Artificial Intelligence" conference takes place at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. The term "artificial intelligence" was previously coined in a proposal submitted by John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Nathaniel Rochester, and Claude Shannon in August 1955, leading to the official birth of the field during the workshop held in July and August 1956. This summer conference, funded by the Rockefeller Institute, is considered the foundation of the discipline. Remarkably, it is a workshop rather than a conventional conference, with only six participants, including McCarthy and Minsky, who would remain consistently engaged in developing the field, primarily through formal logic.[18][10] [3][6][1] United States
1956 Newell and Simon develop the Logic Theorist program, an early AI system designed to discover proofs in propositional logic. This marks the inception of artificial intelligence as a field, with Logic Theorist being later often considered the first AI program. It is presented at the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence (DSRPAI) in the same year, a conference hosted by John McCarthy and Marvin Minsky, where the term "artificial intelligence" is first coined. The program aims to simulate human problem-solving skills and was funded by the RAND Corporation.[19][4][5][9]
1957 Frank Rosenblatt creates the Perceptron, one of the initial artificial neural networks that facilitates pattern recognition through a two-layer computer learning system. The New York Times describes the Perceptron as the early stages of an electronic computer that the Navy anticipates can eventually possess capabilities such as walking, talking, seeing, writing, self-replicating, and self-awareness. The New Yorker characterizes it as an extraordinary machine with the potential for what can be considered as thought processes.[10]
1957 Herbert Simon, an economist and sociologist, predicts that artificial intelligence would be able to defeat a human at chess within a decade. However, AI research would experience a setback and would go through a period of dormancy. Nevertheless, Simon's prediction ultimately would come true, but it would take 30 years for AI to accomplish this feat.[3]
1957 Herbert Newell, Cliff Shaw, and Herbert Simon demonstrate the General Problem Solver (GPS). This program, developed over about a decade, is capable of solving a wide range of puzzles through a trial-and-error approach, showcasing significant problem-solving abilities.[16][8]
1958 American computer scientist John McCarthy develops the Lisp programming language. Lisp is a functional programming language that is well-suited for artificial intelligence applications. It is a recursive language, which means that it can be used to represent recursive data structures, such as lists. This makes it a powerful tool for representing the knowledge that is used in artificial intelligence applications. Lisp would be used in a wide variety of artificial intelligence applications, including natural language processing, machine learning, and robotics. It is still one of the most popular programming languages used in artificial intelligence research.[10][9]
1958 Herbert Gelernter's "geometry machine" becomes the first advanced AI program to prove geometric theorems, marking a significant milestone in artificial intelligence development.[20]
1959 Arthur Samuel coins the term "machine learning" while reporting his work on programming a computer to improve its checkers game-playing skills beyond the capabilities of its human programmer.[10]
1959 Oliver Selfridge publishes Pandemonium: A paradigm for learning, which describes a model in which computers can recognize patterns that has not been pre-specified. This work lays the foundation for pattern recognition and learning in AI.[10]
