The foundation of AI was laid down in the Dartmouth workshop organised by John McCarthy at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire in 1956. It should be noted that the microprocessor is the heart of all computing systems and the first commercial microprocessor, Intel 4004, was available in 1971. AI is a computational system that involves massive computations and requires huge amount of data. It is because of this that applications related to AI were not widely available in the past. However, with the advancement of VLSI technology and networking systems we now have graphics processing units (GPU) that have thousands of cores (equivalent to a processing element) on a single chip and can process data on all cores in parallel. Advancement in communication and networking technologies has enabled the collection of data for AI system from different sources. The GPU technology has inspired the rapid development of applications based on AI.
AI—The history and evolution

A number of developments after WWII led to an interest in automated and intelligent systems. Perhaps, if one were asked to name any one single event that was crucial in the development of AI, it might be the Dartmouth workshop held in the summer of 1956.15 The idea for the workshop was conceived by John McCarthy,16 a young mathematics professor at Dartmouth, and was further developed by Marvin Minsky,17 Nathaniel Rochester18 and Claude Shannon.19 John McCarthy came up with the name Artificial Intelligence and the workshop was called the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence.
Artificial intelligence in operations management and supply chain management: an exploratory case study
Published in Production Planning & Control, 2022
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a loosely defined term that can refer to several technologies. John McCarthy coined this concept at the time of the famous Turing Test in 1950. This field has had a long history since the Dartmouth workshop in 1956. However, it did not attract high interest at the beginning. From the early 2000s, AI made rapid progress and received new attention, and AI has been reconsidered in research areas and applications in recent years. AI combines the science and engineering of making intelligent machines. Therefore, the objectives of AI can be considered to be both scientific goals and engineering goals.
