Source details and check notes

Authors: J. McCarthy; M. L. Minsky; N. Rochester; C. E. Shannon
Version: Annotated facsimile of the dated typescript; title page and printed p. 3 inspected by the pre-1996 candidate search. Marginal annotations are excluded.
Canonical address: Open the canonical source ↗
Accessed: 2026-10-06
Language: English (en)
Attribution: McCarthy, Minsky, Rochester and Shannon, Dartmouth proposal (1955), facsimile on raysolomonoff.com.
Reuse: No open redistribution licence asserted. Bibliographic metadata, editorial paraphrases and short attributed quotations (at most 50 words each). Recheck terms before wider redistribution.
Check notes: Passage and locator as inspected by a reviewer from a different model family on 2026-10-27 in a direct retrieval of the facsimile; the preparer’s retrieval of 2026-10-27 had failed, so the check’s reading replaces a restatement of the source record’s author list; the scan has no text layer, so the page was checked visually. The initials are kept as printed; the full name rests on the 2006 AI Magazine reprint, an identity source of the person record. Given as a labelled paraphrase because the source records no document length against which a quotation can be checked. Human editorial review is pending.
