Introduction to AI Policy

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) can be traced back to the theoretical concepts that emerged in the mid-20th century. In 1950, Alan Turing published his seminal paper Computing Machinery and Intelligence on “thinking machines.” In this paper, he proposed the Turing Test as a way to evaluate whether a machine could exhibit human-like intelligence. In 1956, John McCarthy, then a prominent scholar at Stanford University, coined the term “artificial intelligence,” defining it as “the science and engineering of making intelligent machines.” Along with subsequent breakthroughs in machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision, AI has been a transformative force across industries such as healthcare, defense, transportation, and finance.
