John McCarthy is one of the "founding fathers" of artificial intelligence, along with Alan Turing, Marvin Minsky, Allen Newell, and Herbert Simon. McCarthy coined the term "artificial intelligence" in 1955, and organized the famous Dartmouth conference in the summer of 1956.McCarthy helped spur the creation of the MAC Project at MIT when he worked there, and at Stanford University, he helped establish the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, which for many years has been a friendly competitor of the MAC Project.(Minsky later joined McCarthy at MIT in 1959.)

McCarthy invented the Lisp programming language in the late 1950s, based on lambda integrals, and Lisp quickly became the programming language of choice for artificial intelligence applications after its publication in 1960.

McCarthy was instrumental in creating three of the earliest timeshare systems (the Compatible Timeshare System, the BBN Timeshare System, and the Dartmouth Timeshare System). In 1961, he was the first to publicly propose the idea of utility computing, in a speech to celebrate MIT's centennial: Computer time-sharing technology may lead to a future in which computing power can be sold as well as certain applications. The idea of using a computer or information gadget was very popular in the late 1960s, but had died out by the mid-1990s. However, since 2000, the idea has resurfaced in new forms.

In 1966, McCarthy and his team at Stanford wrote a computer program used to play a series of chess games with counterparts in the Soviet Union. McCarthy's team lost two matches and tied two.
