Knowing John McCarthy: The Father Of Artificial Intelligence - AI Summary

As per report of, "Recent results from a large survey of machine learning researchers predict AI will outperform humans in many activities in the next ten years, such as translating languages (by 2024) all the way to working as a surgeon (by 2053). Researchers also believe there is a 50% chance of AI outperforming humans in all tasks in 45 years and of automating all human jobs in 120 years." Nearly every aspect of our lives is being affected by artificial intelligence machines in order to boost profitability and enhance our human capabilities. After playing a significant role in defining the area devoted to the creation of intelligent machines, John McCarthy, an American computer scientist pioneer and inventor, was called the "Father of Artificial Intelligence." In his 1955 proposal for the 1956 Dartmouth Conference, the first artificial intelligence conference, the cognitive scientist coined the term.
