Hey, Starlord here
so here I am to tell you that how this AI term made? Where did Artificial Intelligence come from?
The term artificial intelligence was first coined by john McCarthy in 1956 when he held the first academic conference on the subject. But the journey to understand if machines can truly think began much before that.

In Vannevar Bush’s seminal work as we may think he proposed a system which amplifies people’s own knowledge and understanding. Five years later Alan Turing wrote a paper on the notation of machines being able to simulate human beings and the ability to do intelligent things, such as play chess.

No one can refute a computer’s ability to process logic. But to many it is unknown if a machine can think. The precision definition of think is important because there has been some strong opposition as to whether or not this notation is even possible. For example, there is the so-called ‘Chinese room’ argument.
Chinese room SOURCE
CHINESE ROOM ARGUMENT: Imagine someone is locked in a room, where they were passed notes in Chinese. Using an entire library of rules and lookup tables they would be able to produce valid response in Chinese, but would they really ‘understand’ the language?
The argument is that since computers would always be applying mindlessly fact lookup they could never ‘understand’ a subject. This argument has been refuted in numerous ways by research, but it does undermine people’s faith in machines and so-called expert systems in life-critical applications.
In 1950 English Mathematician Alan Turning published a paper entitled “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” which opened the doors to the field that would be called AI. This was years before the community adopted the term Artificial Intelligence as coined by John McCarthy. The paper itself began by posing the simple question, "Can machines think?".

Turning then went on to purpose a method for evaluating whether machines can think, which can think, which came to be known as the Turning test. The test, or “Imitation game” as it was called in the paper, was put forth as a simple test that could be used to prove that machine could think.
The turning test takes simple paramagnetic approach, assuming that a computer that is indistinguishable from an intelligent human actually has shown that machines can think.
so if you want to know more about AI then wait for next chapter :-)
