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] |

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] | ||

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.

| 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] | ||

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.

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 summer conference, funded by the Rockefeller Institute, is considered the foundation of the discipline.
