The history of Artificial Intelligence (AI) dates back to ancient times, with myths of mechanical beings. However, modern AI began in the 1950s when Alan Turing proposed the concept of machine intelligence and developed the Turing Test. In 1956, the Dartmouth Conference marked AI's formal birth. Early AI research focused on symbolic reasoning and problem-solving but faced challenges due to limited computing power. The 1980s saw the rise of expert systems, and in the 1990s, machine learning gained traction. The 21st century brought deep learning, big data, and powerful neural networks, leading to breakthroughs in natural language processing, computer vision, and autonomous systems. Today, AI continues to evolve, transforming industries and daily life.
