"In August 1955, a group of scientists made a funding request for US$13,500 to
host a summer workshop at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire. The field they
proposed to explore was artificial intelligence (AI).

While the funding request was humble, the conjecture of the researchers was
not: “every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in
principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it”.

Since these humble beginnings, movies and media have romanticised AI or cast it
as a villain. Yet for most people, AI has remained as a point of discussion and
not part of a conscious lived experience."
