History of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence first emerged in the year 1956. Since then the artificial intelligence has evolved by many folds.

Alan Turing, was an English mathematician,

"Computing Machinery and Intelligence" in which he
1943 proposed a test. The test could check the machine's
ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to
human intelligence, called a Turing test.
The first work which is now recognised

Brainy Fact
Turing Test includes three players in which one player is a human, another player is a computer, and the
third player is a human judge. The judge is isolated from the other two players and his responsibility is to
find which player is a machine among the two of them.
