When was artificial intelligence born and define artificial intelligence as a science?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) was officially founded as a field of study in 1956 during the Dartmouth Conference, where researchers gathered to explore the potential of machines to simulate human intelligence. AI as a science involves the development of algorithms and systems that enable computers to perform tasks typically associated with human cognition, such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and language understanding. It encompasses various subfields, including machine learning, natural language processing, and robotics, aiming to create systems that can adapt and improve over time.
