4. Artificial Intelligence (AI) emerged as an academic field in the mid-20th
century, with its formal inception marked by the Dartmouth Conference in
1956. This conference, organized by John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky,
Nathaniel Rochester, and Claude Shannon, brought together researchers who
aimed to explore the possibility of machines simulating human intelligence.
The primary goal was to develop systems capable of reasoning, learning, and
problem-solving, laying the foundation for future advancements in AI
technologies. Early efforts focused on symbolic reasoning and problem-
solving, which paved the way for subsequent developments in neural networks
and machine learning over the following decades.

● GitHub Copilot, launched in 2021, is an AI-powered code completion tool
developed by GitHub in collaboration with OpenAI.
● It utilizes machine learning models trained on vast amounts of code from
public repositories to suggest relevant code snippets as developers write
code.
● Copilot increases productivity by offering real-time code suggestions,
which helps developers avoid boilerplate code and reduces the time spent
on repetitive tasks.
● Studies have shown that developers using Copilot can complete tasks up
to 30% faster compared to traditional coding methods.
● The tool supports multiple programming languages and integrates
seamlessly with popular code editors, enhancing the development
workflow.
