Jürgen Schmidhuber
(1963-)
Jürgen Schmidhuber has been called the father of (modern) artificial Intelligence and the father of deep learning.
Claims of fatherhood for machine learning go back decades to the earliest days of digital computers, when cognitive scientists thought the brain must be a computer, or at least that all brain functions, especially learning, could be
simulated by a computer.
Schmidhuber is a member of a group of scientists and philosophers pursuing "
digital philosophy," They include
Gregory Chaitin,
Edward Fredkin,
Seth Lloyd,
Rudy Rucker,
Stephen Wolfram, and
Konrad Zuse.
