Milestone · June – August 1956

Dartmouth Summer Research Project

The summer study planned by the 1955 proposal took place at Dartmouth College.

Why it matters

It gathered researchers around a shared name for the field and became the reference point later accounts of AI point back to.

It was an extended working study with a changing set of participants rather than a conference with proceedings, and the sources cited here do not establish its exact dates.
