This was the starting point for the DENDRAL project, initiated in 1965 by Edward Feigenbaum, Nobel Prize winner Joshua Lederberg, and Bruce Buchanan, in cooperation with chemist Carl Djerassi. The basic approach was to design software that mimics the concept of human reasoning and allows the formalization of scientific knowledge.

In the 1960 s, Edward Feigenbaum and other scientists at Stanford University built two early expert systems DENDRAL, which classified chemicals, and MYCIN, which identified diseases. These early expert systems were cumbersome to modify because they had hard-coded rules. By 1970, the OPS expert system shell, with variable rule sets, had been released by Digital Equipment Corporation as the first commercial expert system shell. In addition to expert systems, neural networks became an important area of artificial intelligence in the 1970 s and 1980 s. Frank Rosenblatt introduced the Perceptron in 1957, but it was Perceptrons An Introduction to Computational Geometry (1969), by Minsky and Seymour Papert, and the two-volume Parallel Distributed Processing Explorations in the Microstructure of Cognition (1986),...
