Week 7 - Surfing the Tsunami

The artificial intelligence community is growing. There are some key people in AI that I found interesting and I just want to share a few with you. These people have made contributions to the AI industry that is worth a mention and stood out to me during my readings this week. My contributions to the AI industry will never compare to the many great minds involved in the community.

Geoffrey Hinton - Works for University of Toronto and Google. Jeffrey has created algorithms that mimic the human brain and how it works. His interest in  how the brain works is how he became interested in artificial intelligence. 

Fei Fei Li - Works for Stanford and Google. Fei Fei Li has a specialty of "computer vision" which helps visual applications such as self-driving cars. She is the also the Director of the Stanford Artificial Lab and Vision Lab.

 

 

These are some of the many that are a part of the artificial intelligence community. This community keeps growing because AI keeps growing. I need to become more involved with the AI world myself. I will continue to learn about others involved with AI and learn from them. I will explore the in-person connection to add to my learning from books and articles.
