The Summer AI Was Named

In 1956, a small summer workshop at Dartmouth gave artificial intelligence its name. John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Claude Shannon, Nathaniel Rochester, and their colleagues believed that the essential features of intelligence might be described precisely enough for a machine to simulate them. Early programs such as Logic Theorist made that confidence feel reasonable. But beneath the breakthroughs were tiny problem worlds, hand-built assumptions, and severe limits. This episode follows the birth of two rival dreams—intelligence as symbolic rules and intelligence as learned patterns—and asks why both remain alive today.
