AI Artificial Intelligence Award deep learning Neural Networks

The ‘Godfathers of AI’ win Turing Award

sudshr47 March 27, 2019

The winners of the 2018 Turing Award have been announced.

Geoffrey Hinton, Yann LeCun, and Yoshua Bengio — sometimes referred to as the “godfathers of artificial intelligence” — have won the 2018 Turing Award for their work on neural networks. The three artificial intelligence pioneers’ work basically laid the foundation for modern AI technologies.

In the 1980s and early 1990s, artificial intelligence experienced a renewed popularity within the scientific community. However, by the mid-90s, scientists had failed to make any major advancements in AI, making it harder to secure funding or publish research. Hinton, LeCun, and Bengio remained undeterred and continued with their work. Read more…
