| Norbert Wiener: Norbert Wiener (1894-1964) was an American mathematician and polymath known as the father of cybernetics. Wiener contributed significantly to mathematics, especially in areas like stochastic and mathematical analysis. His interdisciplinary work in cybernetics explored systems, control theory, and their application to diverse fields like communication, biology, and robotics.

Neil Gershenfeld on Wiener - Dictionary of Arguments
Brockman I 165 Wiener/artificial intelligence/machine learning/Gershenfeld: Wiener recognized the role of feedback in machine learning, but he missed the key role of representation. It’s not possible to store all possible images in a self-driving car, or all possible sounds in a conversational computer; they have to be able to generalize from experience. The “deep” part of deep learning refers not to the (hoped-for) depth of insight but to the depth of the mathematical network layers used to make predictions. It turned out that a linear increase in network complexity led to an exponential increase in the expressive power of the network. >Learning, >Deep learning, >Neural networks, >Artificial neural networks, >Artificial Intelligence, >Strong Artificial Intelligence, >Artificial General Intelligence, >Human Level AI.
