10. D efinition Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science that aims to create it. Textbooks define this field as "the study and design of intelligent agents" .

11. H istory Thinking machines and artificial beings appear in Greek myths.

12. Alan Turing's theory of computation formed the basis of development of the electronic computer and in turn aided the idea of AI research.

13. The field of AI research was founded at a conference on the campus of Dartmouth College in the 1956.

14. John McCarthy, one of the leaders of AI Research was regarded as “The Father of AI”. "Machines will be capable, within twenty years, of doing any work a man can do” -Herbert Simon
