The scientific field of AI began in the 1950s but the concept of artificial intelligence - the idea of an artefact with mind-like attributes - predates it by centuries. This historically rich concept has served as a blueprint for the research into intelligent machines. But it also has staggering implications for our notions of who we are: our psychology, biology, philosophy, technology and society. This reference work provides scholars in both the humanities and the sciences with the material essential for charting the development of this concept.
