It didn't take long before it became Artificial Intelligence (AI). Coined by John McCarthy, that term has stuck firmly, despite continual grumblings that any other name would be twice as fair (though no gr...

... Not only with mIT, Stanford, and Cmu, which are now seen as the main DArPA-supported university computer-science research environments, but with other universities as well ... DArPA began to build excellence in information processing in whatever fashion we thought best.... The DArPA effort, or anything similar, had not been in our wildest imaginings.... (Newell 1984) As AI research progressed, systems tackled increasingly complex and broad-based task domains, thus creating the need for representing domain knowledge more thoroughly and accurately to better support sophisticated computations using the knowledge. The first significant efforts to integrate domain knowledge into AI systems were in human language understanding, mobile robotics (AI Magazine DArPA leadership in AI, 2020), and expert systems. ...
