Slovak-Canadian AI researcher — co-founder of OpenAI — who led AI at Tesla (Autopilot) — who left OpenAI, joined Tesla, left Tesla, briefly rejoined OpenAI, and now focuses on AI education — the most influential AI educator through his YouTube lectures on neural networks.
French-American AI researcher — creator of Keras (the most widely used deep learning framework) — who works at Google — creator of the ARC benchmark (Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus) — who argues that current LLMs lack general intelligence and that the ARC benchmark exposes this limitation.
Israeli-Canadian-American AI researcher — co-founder and former Chief Scientist of OpenAI — who was a student of Geoffrey Hinton — led the development of GPT-2, GPT-3, and GPT-4 — who attempted to remove Sam Altman as CEO in November 2023 and then founded Safe Superintelligence Inc.
Geoffrey Hinton — British-Canadian cognitive psychologist and computer scientist known as the 'Godfather of Deep Learning' — who co-invented backpropagation, developed deep neural networks, and won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics — who resigned from Google in 2023 to speak freely about AI risks.
American AI researcher who led the development of AlphaFold2 at DeepMind — solving the 50-year protein folding problem — and who shared the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Demis Hassabis and David Baker for this achievement.
AI researcher and educator known for creating CS231n (Convolutional Neural Networks for Visual Recognition) at Stanford — one of the most widely watched computer vision courses in the world — and for research on visual reasoning, image generation, and 3D scene understanding.
American AI and robotics researcher at UC Berkeley — who works on deep reinforcement learning for robotics — one of the leading researchers on how to train robots to manipulate objects in the physical world.
