Its rate of adoption and impact have been unprecedented when compared with other technologies. AI as a distinct field was formally established in 1956 at the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence , proposed by John McCarthy , Marvin Minsky , Nathaniel Rochester , and Claude Shannon .
