Neurophysiologist Warren McCulloch modeled biological neural nets in 1943 in the Bulletin of Mathematical Biophysics. The field of "AI" didn't exist until Dartmouth in 1956. The term "artificial" was added later to distinguish machine models from biology. Looked it up!

Yes, Michael; he co-authored that paper with logician Walter Pitts, and it was the paper in which the concept of artificial neural networks was introduced.

They published in Mathematical Biophysics to model biological nervous activity. You started by claiming the brain isn't a neural net, and ended by citing the 1943 paper that modeled biological brains as neural nets. Incredible full circle.
