For nearly 40 years, Geoff Hinton has been trying to get computers to learn like people do, a quest almost everyone thought was crazy or at least hopeless - right up until the moment it revolutionized the field. In this Hello World video, Bloomberg Businessweek's Ashlee Vance meets the Godfather of AI.

not only he invented AI, he was the pioneer of standing desks.

I’m happy he’s alive to know he was right all along and computers caught up to his vision.

Geoff is the great-great-grandson of George Boole (where "boolean" logic comes from, whose mathematical work is credited with laying the foundation of computers), quite fitting that Hinton is influential & pushing forward a field whose ancestor is fundamental to.

What an amazing person. Not just before his time, but still being alive when the Dream is Realized.

@rz14123 8 years ago

wow he worked for 20 years before the mainstream media recognized the value of his work

@MsSuyash1995 7 years ago

He definitely deserved the Turing Award for his invaluable contribution to the field of Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science..

Deserves a standing ovation.

Feynman said it best." Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts"
One man sticks to his beliefs.

A true scientist! Seeing the empirical evidence in his surroundings thus realizing it's possible. These are the people we don't have enough of and truly inspire me.

Glad to see someone standing up for what they believe in.

Yoshua Bengio is also a Canadian Pioneer of AI. He was the supervisor for Ian Goodfellow, one of the top AI researchers in the world working at Google right now.
