IEEE is the Community that Made AI Possible

IEEE has been a guiding force in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) from its inception.

IEEE and AI is History

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 to fuel collaboration across researchers and practitioners. Together, these initiatives have kept IEEE at the forefront of innovation, steadfastly advancing artificial intelligence and the transformative technologies behind it.
