This is a great article documenting several strands of research that came together to result in the AI deep learning boom we are seeing today. It may introduce you to people you haven't heard of before -Fei-Fei Li, who created ImageNet; Alex Krizhevsky, who inspired by Geoffrey Hinton developed AlexNet; Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia who launched CUDA; Yann LeCun, who developed a cheque-reading application. It just goes to show, I think, that groundbreaking inventions are produced by a society, not by the 'individual geniuses' who later monetize them. Via Tel Amiel.
