                                                                                     How what started?
                  I mean, how humans think of making a
                  machine matter and how they actually
                  accomplished that goal.
                                                                           AI, How it began and who were the

                           McCarthy is known  as the father of
                           AI. Sure! I will tell you more about the                 Good thinking! In this chapter, I am

                 Humans  have  always  tried  to  make  machines  smart  and  capable  enough  to  work  on  their
                 own. The foundation of this thought was first laid at Dartmouth College by John McCarthy.
                 Similarly, over the years, there have been many notable contributors in the field of Artificial

                 Intelligence. Let us have a look at some these pioneers in the field of Artificial Intelligence
                 whose contribution proved to be a milestone for the future generation.
