  1. Summer 1956The Dartmouth Workshop — Naming Artificial IntelligenceOver roughly eight weeks in the summer of 1956 at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, ten researchers including John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Claude Shannon, and Nathaniel Rochester proposed and adopted the term 'artificial intelligence'. Its historical weight lies less in any specific technical result than in establishing the field's own name and the researcher network that would carry it for decades.
