IEEE and AI
IEEE has been a guiding force in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) from its inception.
The story takes root at the legendary 1956 Dartmouth Workshop, regarded as the birthplace of AI, where IEEE members gathered, many of whom would go on to become celebrated trailblazers. Ever since that formative event, IEEE has actively fostered AI’s evolution, continually launching new journals, conferences, standards, technical communities, and working groups. Together, these initiatives have kept IEEE at the forefront of innovation, steadfastly advancing AI and the transformative technologies behind it.

About This Site
Artificial intelligence has applications and impact across all technical fields of interest for practicing engineers, and across all of human society. For this reason IEEE created the AI Coalition, a group of representatives from across IEEE who come together with the shared purpose of cataloging all of IEEE’s AI-related resources and activities into a cohesive platform, and fostering a robust, cross-disciplinary network of IEEE expertise in AI.
