Who coined the term artificial intelligence?

  • A.Claude Shannon, in his work on information theory
  • B.Norbert Wiener
  • C.John McCarthy
  • D.Alan Turing, in his paper on computing machinery

Answer: C

McCarthy proposed the name for the 1956 Dartmouth workshop, partly to distinguish the new field from cybernetics. Turing wrote about machine intelligence without using the phrase, Shannon contributed to the workshop and to information theory, and Wiener founded the cybernetics tradition the name was chosen to separate from. A field's name is often chosen for political as much as descriptive reasons, and this one is a clear example.
