To 1900
Date | Development |
---|---|
Antiquity | Greek myths of Hephaestus and Pygmalion incorporated the idea of intelligent robots (such as Talos) and artificial beings (such as Galatea and Pandora).[1] |
Antiquity | Yan Shi presented King Mu of Zhou with mechanical men.[2] |
Antiquity | Sacred mechanical statues built in Egypt and Greece were believed to be capable of wisdom and emotion. Hermes Trismegistus would write "they have sensus and spiritus ... by discovering the true nature of the gods, man has been able to reproduce it." Mosaic law prohibits the use of automatons in religion.[3] |
384 BC–322 BC | Aristotle described the syllogism, a method of formal, mechanical thought. |
1st century | Heron of Alexandria created mechanical men and other automatons.[4] |
260 | Porphyry of Tyros wrote Isagogê which categorized knowledge and logic.[5] |
~800 | Geber develops the Arabic alchemical theory of Takwin, the artificial creation of life in the laboratory, up to and including human life.[6] |
1206 | Al-Jazari created a programmable orchestra of mechanical human beings.[7] |
1275 | Ramon Llull, Spanish theologian invents the Ars Magna, a tool for combining concepts mechanically, based on an Arabic astrological tool, the Zairja. The method would be developed further by Gottfried Leibniz in the 17th century.[8] |
~1500 | Paracelsus claimed to have created an artificial man out of magnetism, sperm and alchemy.[9] |
~1580 | Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel of Prague is said to have invented the Golem, a clay man brought to life.[10] |
Early 17th century | René Descartes proposed that bodies of animals are nothing more than complex machines (but that mental phenomena are of a different "substance").[11] |
1623 | Wilhelm Schickard drew a calculating clock on a letter to Kepler. This will be the first of five unsuccessful attempts at designing a direct entry calculating clock in the 17th century (including the designs of Tito Burattini, Samuel Morland and René Grillet)).[12] |
1641 | Thomas Hobbes published Leviathan and presented a mechanical, combinatorial theory of cognition. He wrote "...for reason is nothing but reckoning".[13][14] |
1642 | Blaise Pascal invented the mechanical calculator,[15] the first digital calculating machine[16] |
1672 | Gottfried Leibniz improved the earlier machines, making the Stepped Reckoner to do multiplication and division. He also invented the binary numeral system and envisioned a universal calculus of reasoning (alphabet of human thought) by which arguments could be decided mechanically. Leibniz worked on assigning a specific number to each and every object in the world, as a prelude to an algebraic solution to all possible problems.[17] |
1726 | Jonathan Swift published Gulliver's Travels, which includes this description of the Engine, a machine on the island of Laputa: "a Project for improving speculative Knowledge by practical and mechanical Operations " by using this "Contrivance", "the most ignorant Person at a reasonable Charge, and with a little bodily Labour, may write Books in Philosophy, Poetry, Politicks, Law, Mathematicks, and Theology, with the least Assistance from Genius or study."[18] The machine is a parody of Ars Magna, one of the inspirations of Gottfried Leibniz' mechanism. |
1750 | Julien Offray de La Mettrie published L'Homme Machine, which argued that human thought is strictly mechanical.[19] |
1769 | Wolfgang von Kempelen built and toured with his chess-playing automaton, The Turk.[20] The Turk was later shown to be a hoax, involving a human chess player. |
1818 | Mary Shelley published the story of Frankenstein; or the Modern Prometheus, a fictional consideration of the ethics of creating sentient beings.[21] |
1822–1859 | Charles Babbage & Ada Lovelace worked on programmable mechanical calculating machines.[22] |
1837 | The mathematician Bernard Bolzano made the first modern attempt to formalize semantics. |
1854 | George Boole set out to "investigate the fundamental laws of those operations of the mind by which reasoning is performed, to give expression to them in the symbolic language of a calculus", inventing Boolean algebra.[23] |
1863 | Samuel Butler suggested that Darwinian evolution also applies to machines, and speculates that they will one day become conscious and eventually supplant humanity.[24] |
1900–1950
Date | Development |
---|---|
1913 | Bertrand Russell and Alfred North Whitehead published Principia Mathematica, which revolutionized formal logic. |
1915 | Leonardo Torres y Quevedo built a chess automaton, El Ajedrecista and published speculation about thinking and automata.[25] |
1923 | Karel Čapek's play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) opened in London. This is the first use of the word "robot" in English.[26] |
1920s and 1930s | Ludwig Wittgenstein and Rudolf Carnap lead philosophy into logical analysis of knowledge. Alonzo Church develops Lambda Calculus to investigate computability using recursive functional notation. |
1931 | Kurt Gödel showed that sufficiently powerful consistent formal systems permit the formulation of true theorems that are unprovable by any theorem-proving machine deriving all possible theorems from the axioms. To do this he had to build a universal, integer-based programming language, which is the reason why he is sometimes called the "father of theoretical computer science". |
1941 | Konrad Zuse built the first working program-controlled computers.[27] |
1943 | Warren Sturgis McCulloch and Walter Pitts publish "A Logical Calculus of the Ideas Immanent in Nervous Activity" (1943), laying foundations for artificial neural networks.[28] |
1943 | Arturo Rosenblueth, Norbert Wiener and Julian Bigelow coin the term "cybernetics". Wiener's popular book by that name published in 1948. |
1945 | Game theory which would prove invaluable in the progress of AI was introduced with the 1944 paper, Theory of Games and Economic Behavior by mathematician John von Neumann and economist Oskar Morgenstern. |
1945 | Vannevar Bush published As We May Think (The Atlantic Monthly, July 1945) a prescient vision of the future in which computers assist humans in many activities. |
1948 | John von Neumann (quoted by E.T. Jaynes) in response to a comment at a lecture that it was impossible for a machine to think: "You insist that there is something a machine cannot do. If you will tell me precisely what it is that a machine cannot do, then I can always make a machine which will do just that!". Von Neumann was presumably alluding to the Church-Turing thesis which states that any effective procedure can be simulated by a (generalized) computer. |
1950s
Date | Development |
---|---|
1950 | Alan Turing proposes the Turing Test as a measure of machine intelligence.[29] |

1952–1962 | Arthur Samuel (IBM) wrote the first game-playing program,[30] for checkers (draughts), to achieve sufficient skill to challenge a respectable amateur. His first checkers-playing program was written in 1952, and in 1955 he created a version that learned to play.[31] |
1956 | The first Dartmouth College summer AI conference is organized by John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Nathan Rochester of IBM and Claude Shannon. |

1957 | The General Problem Solver (GPS) demonstrated by Newell, Shaw and Simon. |
1958 | John McCarthy (Massachusetts Institute of Technology or MIT) invented the Lisp programming language. |
1958 | Herbert Gelernter and Nathan Rochester (IBM) described a theorem prover in geometry that exploits a semantic model of the domain in the form of diagrams of "typical" cases. |

1961 | In Minds, Machines and Gödel, John Lucas[33] denied the possibility of machine intelligence on logical or philosophical grounds. He referred to Kurt Gödel's result of 1931: sufficiently powerful formal systems are either inconsistent or allow for formulating true theorems unprovable by any theorem-proving AI deriving all provable theorems from the axioms. Since humans are able to "see" the truth of such theorems, machines were deemed inferior. |
1961 | Unimation's industrial robot Unimate worked on a General Motors automobile assembly line. |

1969 | First International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) held at Stanford. |
1969 | Marvin Minsky and Seymour Papert publish Perceptrons, demonstrating previously unrecognized limits of this feed-forward two-layered structure. This book is considered by some to mark the beginning of the AI winter of the 1970s, a failure of confidence and funding for AI. Nevertheless, significant progress in the field continued (see below). |
