John McCarthy was a Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University. He was interested in developing systems that exhibited human-level intelligence since 1948 and coined the term "Artificial Intelligence" in 1955, five years after Alan Turing proposed the Turing Test for Intelligence.
John McCarthy named and helped pioneer the field of artificial intelligence. He led the development of the LISP programming language to facilitate research in that field, initiated the development of computer timesharing, which made interactive computing practical for the first time and thus enabled the development of general purpose computer ...
