| Summary: | “Artificial intelligence” is a synthetic term which – due to its
suggestive potential – has caused many misunderstandings and false
expectations. Its origin can be traced back to the year 1956. This year
was important in many aspects. For example, the book “Automata
Studies” came out, compiling now famous articles in the field of
cybernetics (Shannon & McCarthy, 1956). Since the first appearance
of the words “artificial intelligence”, usually associated with John
McCarthy’s 1956 Dartmouth Summer Research Project, interest in the
topic and research into the development of intelligent machines has
seen several ups and downs.
