The word algorithm is derived from the name of the 9th-century Persian mathematician Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī, whose nisba (identifying him as from Khwarazm) was Latinized as Algoritmi (Arabized Persian الخوارزمی c. 780–850).
The term algebra itself comes from the title of his book (the word al-jabr meaning "completion" or "rejoining"). His name gave rise to the terms algorism and algorithm, as well as Spanish and Portuguese terms algoritmo, and Spanish guarismo[18] and Portuguese algarismo meaning "digit".
There aren't many (useful) posts when I search for "no such thing as artificial intelligence". The first result is an aggregation site that points to this article: https://aitopics.org/doc/news:88D0C200. [1]
