The idea of inanimate objects coming to life as intelligent beings has been around for a long time. The ancient Greeks had myths
about robots, and Chinese and Egyptian engineers-built automatons.
The beginnings of modern AI can be traced to classical philosophers' attempts to describe human thinking as a symbolic system. But
the field of AI wasn't formally founded until 1956, at a conference at Dartmouth College, in Hanover, New Hampshire, where the
term "artificial intelligence" was coined. After several reports, research and government funding the journey of artificial
intelligence wasn’t simple; it faced a drop off from the period 1974-1980 that became known as “AI Winter”.
