Artificial Intelligence

New Arrival

Created 9 years ago in Technology / Innovation

Conceived the Hutter Prize for Lossless Compression of Human Knowledge in 2005, based on his early recognition of the, now, widely accepted breakthrough mathematical theory of universal artificial intelligence, AIXI, developed at the Swiss AI Lab, IDSIA, by Marcus Hutter. Hutter, himself, underwrote the prize in 2006. Hutter's first PhD students went on to found DeepMind Technologies in 2010, which was purchased by Google in 2014 for a half billion dollars and is now known as Google DeepMind – the flagship AI project of Alphabet Corporation: Google's holding company. Bowery's colleague at Diogenes Institute was credited by the Chronicle of Higher Education's article "The Believers: The hidden story behind the code that runs our lives" as being the "mystery man" who first supported deep learning neural networks: The other technological basis for Google DeepMind.

Jim was always, not only on top of things, but most often years ahead of everyone else when I knew him at Control Data Corp. We all appreciated his views on were the future lay. 30 years later, those that doubted, will understand how "right" he was. He did great work from my point of view, although I could only understand the smallest parts of it. A great guy to have worked with.
