- 10. Period Year Event Early Foundations (Before 1950s) 1943 Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts published a seminal paper on artificial neurons, laying the groundwork for neural networks. Early Foundations (Before 1950s) 1949 Donald Hebb introduced the concept of Hebbian learning, which describes how neurons might adapt during learning. The Birth of AI (1950s) 1950 Alan Turing published 'Computing Machinery and Intelligence,' introducing the Turing Test as a measure of machine intelligence. The Birth of AI (1950s) 1956 The Dartmouth Conference, organized by John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Nathaniel Rochester, and Claude Shannon, officially coined the term 'artificial intelligence.' Early AI Programs (1950s-1960s) 1956 Logic Theorist, considered the first AI program, was developed by Allen Newell and Herbert A. Simon. Early AI Programs (1950s-1960s) 1957 Frank Rosenblatt developed the Perceptron, an early type of artificial neural network. Early AI Programs (1950s-1960s) 1961 The first industrial robot, Unimate, was introduced, demonstrating early robotics applications. Growth and Challenges (1970s-1980s) 1970 AI research faced its first 'AI winter' due to unmet expectations and reduced funding. Growth and Challenges (1970s-1980s) 1972 The first expert system, DENDRAL, was developed for chemical analysis. Growth and Challenges (1970s-1980s) 1980 The Japanese Fifth Generation Computer Systems project aimed to create intelligent computers and reinvigorated AI research. Resurgence and Advancements (1980s-1990s) 1986 Geoffrey Hinton, David Rumelhart, and Ronald Williams published a paper on backpropagation, a key algorithm for training neural networks. Resurgence and Advancements (1980s-1990s) 1997 IBM's Deep Blue defeated world chess champion Garry Kasparov, showcasing the power of AI in strategic games. Modern AI (2000s-Present) 2006 Geoffrey Hinton and his team developed deep learning techniques, leading to significant improvements in machine learning. Modern AI (2000s-Present) 2011 IBM's Watson won the quiz show 'Jeopardy!' by competing against human champions. Modern AI (2000s-Present) 2012 The AlexNet neural network, developed by Geoffrey Hinton's team, won the ImageNet competition, significantly advancing computer vision. Modern AI (2000s-Present) 2016 DeepMind's AlphaGo defeated Go champion Lee Sedol, a milestone in AI's ability to handle complex games. Modern AI (2000s-Present) 2020 OpenAI's GPT-3, a state-of-the-art language model, demonstrated the potential of large-scale unsupervised learning. Modern AI (2000s-Present) 2022 DeepMind's AlphaFold solved the protein folding problem, making significant contributions to biological research. Modern AI (2000s-Present) 2023 The release of OpenAI's GPT-4, an even more advanced language model, marked another leap in natural language processing capabilities.
