This Canadian Genius Created Modern AI

1:36 He mastered Python from quite an early age.

He even invented standing... amazing

It is interesting how his great-great-grandfather George Boole was ahead of his time when his work about Boolean Algebra was build on a basis of a model of how the mind works, which for him was logic. After around 150 years his direct descendant Geoffrey Hinton pursues the goal to understand how the mind works and then goes ahead of his time by revolutionizing Artificial Intelligence. The world did indeed catch up once, but he is still ahead as he keeps pushing the field with new work like Capsule Neural Networks.

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

Deserves a standing ovation.

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

"Sometimes it takes years to become an overnight success"

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.

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

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

Wow, this video about the Canadian genius who created modern AI has aged incredibly well! Even four years later, the impact and significance of Geoffrey Hinton's work in machine learning and neural networks are still being felt and expanded upon by researchers and developers around the world. It's amazing to think how much progress has been made in AI and deep learning since this video was published, and Hinton's contributions continue to be at the forefront of these advancements. Thank you for sharing this insightful and informative video! - ChatGPT

What a badass. Life treated him horribly by crippling him, and everyone doubted his work that would go on to be crucial in some of our life aspects today. Thank you, Geoff Hinton.

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

So amazing!!! He seems so humble and down to earth..

I'm From Canada toronto, everyone from canada 🍁 thumbs up , feeling proud

I had an honour to hear his talk once. Absolutely genius

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.
