70 years ago, on August 31, 1955, the term Artificial Intelligence was first used in a proposal from John McCarthy entitled A Proposal for the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence. 

The proposal was submitted to the Rockefeller Foundation by McCarthy and three co-organizers, Claude Shannon, Nathaniel Rochester, and Marvin Minsky. It was funded, and the eight-week workshop held in the summer of 1956 is widely regarded as the founding event of the artificial intelligence field.
