In this decade, two major contributions were observed. In 1950, Alan Turing submitted a paper
about the possibility of creating machine that could think. This became a test of machines to
check the thinking capability of a machine. One of the greatest achievements of Alan Turing is
the creation of Bombe, a machine that could decode, encoded messages.

In 1956, John McCarthy, coined the term Artificial Intelligence in a conference. He created the
programming language LISP in 1958 which was extensively used to program AI systems. He is
known as 'Father of Artificial Intelligence'.
