Artificial Intelligence (commonly known as AI) is interconnected to variety of subjects including philosophy, math, economics, linguistics, psychology etc. These subjects are way older than AI and hence the term itself becomes a part of their history. History of Artificial Intelligence, ironically, dates back to Aristotle and his philosophies back in 400 BC. He first developed logic and methods of reasoning while considering the human mind as a machine. He established the foundations of learning, language and rationality. But the AI we all are familiar with began in the mid 20th century.

Artificial Intelligence - Does it have a beginning?

1940 - 1950 : Gestation of AI1950 - 1970 : Early AI programs Samuel's Checkers Program and the birth of AI at the Dartmouth meeting in 1956 where McCarthy coined the term Artificial Intelligence.1970 - 1990 : Knowledge based AIExpert systems are made and AI sets its foot forward to serving industrial purposes followed up by AI winter.1990 - present : Scientific approachNeural networks and emergence of intelligent agents. AI starts using probability to mode uncertainity with the availability of large data sets and systems. The data drives further discoveries along with complexity in AI.
