The history of artificial intelligence (AI) spans several decades, reflecting extensive development and research. Alan Turing, in 1950, questioned whether machines could think in his essay "Computing machinery and intelligence" [1]. Pioneers John McCarthy and Marvin Minsky founded the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT, contributing significantly to the field [2]. While the term "artificial intelligence" is often attributed to McCarthy in 1956, some credit Minsky [3]. Together, they collaborated in this lab. In 1957, Newell and Simon developed the "General Problem Solver," an early AI program. A notable milestone occurred in 1997 when IBM's Deep Blue defeated chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov, highlighting AI's potential. Today, AI is a crucial part of modern life [4].
