However, it was also a time of struggle for AI research, as the U.S. The 1970s showed similar improvements, such as the first anthropomorphic robot being built in Japan, to the first example of an autonomous vehicle being built by an engineering grad student. From programming languages that are still in use to this day to books and films that explored the idea of robots, AI became a mainstream idea quickly. The late 1950s through the 1960s was a time of creation. The time between when the phrase “artificial intelligence” was created, and the 1980s was a period of both rapid growth and struggle for AI research.
