Best Of The Best

The Pioneers Of Artificial Intelligence

As the wave of ever increasing trends in automata press forward in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, we here at OMNITEKK give credence to all those crafty engineers in the field who have worked tirelessly to shape the A.I. Machine into an undeniable force to be reckoned with, where the culmination of automation and computation congeal to manufacture what may only be deemed as one of the most pressing forces in the Computronics Revolution to shape our world.

And without further ado- we present 5 of THE BEST OF THE BEST PIONEERS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Claude Elwood Shanon 

(April 30, 1916 -  February 24, 2001)

Deemed the 'Father Of Artificial Intelligence', as he helped lay the foundational tenets of the 21st century's Technological Revolution, the pearls that Claude Shanon has contributed to the field of Information Theory are invaluable in shaping the Information Age we've all come to know and revere.

His unprecedented discoveries in the fields of Robotics, Mathematics, and Electronics, as well as his phenomenal work in World World ll Cryptanalysis and Telecommunications, have served to influence the field of Artificial Intelligence tremendously, as has his contributions to our Nation's Defense, as the vast applications of his work has made way for the global industrial standardization applied within almost every technology industry in existence today.

Claude Anderson wasn't merely one of the progenitors of Artificial Intelligence...He was the Authority!

Bryan Johnson

(born August 22, 1977)

Is a 21st Century Businessman whose specialties in Artificial Intelligence scope the realm of Neural Networks and Mobile Network Payment Systems, having earned him the accolade of A.I. connoisseur, as his Technological adroit along with his Writer and Philanthropist merits has made him a juggernaut in the Intelligence arena.

He is the founder of both the Kernel and Braintree Companies which manufacture Automated Cognitive Metric Systems that have helped a plethora of quadriplegics and neuro-divergents suffering with an array of degenerative neurological diseases.  

Johnson is hands down one of the most prolific contributors to Artificial Intelligence to date. 

Stuart J Russell

(born 1962)

Is a British Computer Scientist and Artificial Intelligence aficionado who reigns supreme with teaching credits from both the University Of California Berkeley and San Francisco.

Russell founded The Center for Human-Compatible and Sustainable Artificial Intelligence projects, which have made significant contributions in the fields of Machine Learning, Probabilistic Reasoning, Knowledge Representation, and Project Planning as well as Real-Time Decision Making, Target Tracking, Computer Vision and Inverse Reinforcement Learning, with his specialties including the manufacture of Autonomous Intelligence Weapons.

And if that wasn't enough, Russell is also the critically acclaimed author of the educational textbook, 'Artificial Intelligence' and the videographer of 'Slaughterbots', a piercingly harrowing depiction of the tragic scenario where swarms of Inexpensive Microdrones use Artificial Intelligence and Facial Recognition Networking Software to assassinate political opponents based on preprogrammed criteria.

Stuart J. Russell is truly a gem and luminary in the field of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence.

 

Demis Hassabis

(born July 27, 1976)

Is an Artificial Intelligence Researcher, Video Game Programmer and Designer, as well as an Entrepreneur, who Co-Founded Google Deep Mind, A Neural Network 'Alan Turing' themed Metrics Company, coined with the manufacture of a number of state of the art research intensive Board and Video games, along with his company Isomorphic Labs, which uses Artificial Intelligence and Networks for the creation of DNA Targeted Pathways for Drug Delivery.

In 1998, Hassabis also founded 'Elixer Studios', a London based Independent Games Development Company, with development deal contracts with game maker Eidos Interactive, the creator of the Championship Manager, Deus Ex, Hitman, Thief and Tomb Raider gaming franchises; Vivendi Universal, an Entertainment Company which has had successful mergers with the third-party distributor of entertainment channels, Groupe Canal; The Seagram Company which is one of the worlds largest Alcoholic Beverage franchises, and is also in conglomeration with Universal Studios and General Electric; and Microsoft, Bill Gates' infamous company, regarded as the creme de la creme of Operating Systems Software within the consumer Technological arena.

Hassabis is truly an authority on Artificial Intelligence in all it's many uses.

Ray Kurzweil

(born February 12, 1948)

Last but certainly none the less, and an OMNITEKK fave, Ray Kurzweil is a true Artificial Intelligence Connoisseur and Visionary, who authored the brilliantly written Books 'The Singularity Is Near' and 'The Singularity Is Nearer' just to name a few.

Kurzweil isn't only an award winning author, but also an enlightening Computer Scientist and Futurist who's projects span the fields of Optical Character Recognition Synthesis and Speech Recognition Technology as well as the Automation of Electronic Keyboard Instrumentation.

Kurzweil has also made significant contributions in the fields of Artificial Intelligence, Transhumanism, and Technological Singularity as well.

And that's it folks!

We sure hope you've enjoyed our journey down The Pioneers Of Artificial Intelligence lane, and until our next I.T. adventure my friends... OMNITEKK says be well.
