The history of AI

The term artificial intelligence was first coined by John McCarthy in 1956, when he held the first academic conference on the subject. The journey of the question of whether machines think or not started much earlier than that. In the early days of AI, machines were able to solve problems that were difficult for humans to solve.

For example, the Enigma machine was built at the end of World War II to be used in military communications. Alan Turing built an AI system that helped to crack the Enigma code. Cracking the Enigma code was a very challenging task for a human, and it could take weeks for an analyst to do. The AI machine was able to crack the code in hours.

Computers have a tough time solving problems that are intuitive ...
