On This Day in AI History

A CHRONICLE OF MACHINE INTELLIGENCE

DARTMOUTH TO DEEP LEARNING · THE PROGRAMS, PAPERS & PEOPLE · 1956–PRESENT

Welcome to On This Day.

This chronicle preserves the milestones of machine intelligence — the breakthroughs, the systems, and the researchers who made them.

Each entry is a real, dated event: what was built or proven, by whom, and why it mattered. Where a date is known only to the year, it’s marked honestly — a gap is a finding, never a fabrication.
