"The term “artificial intelligence” dates back to the mid-1950s, when mathematician John McCarthy, widely recognized as the father of AI, used it to describe machines that do things people might call intelligent.

A few years later, with McCarthy on the faculty, MIT founded its Artificial Intelligence Project, later the AI Lab. It merged with the Laboratory for Computer Science (LCS) in 2003 and was renamed the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, or CSAIL"
