Alan Turing, a truly remarkable person who was voted [by the public in 2019](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Icons:_The_Greatest_Person_of_the_20th_Century) as the greatest scientist of the 20th century, is credited as helping to lay the foundation for the concept of a 'machine that can think.' He grappled with naysayers and his own need for empirical evidence of this concept in part by creating the [Turing Test](https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-18475646), which you will explore in our NLP lessons.

The lead researcher, mathematics professor John McCarthy, hoped "to proceed on the basis of the conjecture that 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." The participants included another luminary in the field, Marvin Minsky.

The workshop is credited with having initiated and encouraged several discussions including "the rise of symbolic methods, systems focussed on limited domains (early expert systems), and deductive systems versus inductive systems."

From the 1950s through the mid '70s, optimism ran high in the hope that AI could solve many problems. In 1967, Marvin Minsky stated confidently that "Within a generation ... the problem of creating 'artificial intelligence' will substantially be solved." (Minsky, Marvin (1967), Computation: Finite and Infinite Machines, Englewood Cliffs, N.J.: Prentice-Hall) From the 1950s through the mid-'70s, optimism ran high in the hope that AI could solve many problems.

natural language processing research flourished, search was refined and made more powerful, and the concept of 'micro-worlds' was created, where simple tasks were completed using plain language instructions. natural language processing research flourished, search was refined and made more powerful, and the concept of 'micro-worlds' was created, where simple tasks were completed using plain language instructions.
