One of the giants of computer science and neuroscience. It was he who, together with this year’s Nobel laureate, Geoffrey E. Hinton, created the so-called Boltzmann machine, in which they applied equations known from physics to create a neural network capable of recognizing and classifying information and learning by example. The advances made by this duo helped break the so-called “winter of artificial intelligence” and laid the foundation for the modern development of applications based on machine learning, such as the famous ChatGPT.
Interestingly, in the early days of his scientific career, Terry Sejnowski was involved in theoretical physics – among other things, he analyzed the possibility of recording gravitational waves – then his interests extended to computational neuroscience, and eventually to artificial neural networks. His book “Deep Learning. The Deep Revolution,” describing the history and prospects for the development of artificial intelligence.
