AI Turns 70: From Dartmouth to Today's Transformative Tech
The field of artificial intelligence was formally established in 1956 at the Dartmouth Summer Research Project. Over seven decades, AI has evolved from early neural networks and expert systems to become a transformative force across business, healthcare, and defense. IEEE celebrates AI's 70th anniversary by reflecting on its history, current capabilities, and the challenges ahead.
