In a world driven by innovation, a silent revolution is underway, the birth of artificial
intelligence.
Beginning in the 1950s, visionaries like Alan Turing dared to dream of creating machines
that could think like humans.
John McCarthy coined the term artificial intelligence and established AI as a formal research field.
Marvin Minsky made significant contributions to the study of perception, learning, and
reasoning in AI.
Alan Newell and Herbert A. Simon developed the Logic Theorist program, which allowed
machines to demonstrate the potential of their problem-solving capabilities.
Arthur Samuel created the first computer program that could play checkers at a competitive
level by learning from its own experiences.
The history of AI is still being written, with each passing day bringing us closer to
a future where human and artificial intelligence thrive together, shaping a destiny of endless
possibilities and ethical dilemmas.
