Yann LeCun Wins Global AI Award! The father of Keras and the founder of Deepmind has also won awards

Hello everyone, I'm Ergou.

Just yesterday,Turing Award winner and Meta Chief AI Scientist Yann Lecun congratulated himself on winning the 2023 Global Swiss AI Award

At the awards ceremony, Yann Lecun briefly played a blues song with a cowbell.

Yann Lecun was awarded the Turing Award for his outstanding contributions to deep learning, notably the invention of the CNN convolutional neural network, along with Hinton and Bengio.

In recent years, Lecun's Meta AI has become an open-source AI source.

Just a few days ago, Zuckerberg officially announced that Meta was going to enter AGI, and for Meta's latest big move, Turing Award winner, Meta's chief artificial intelligence scientist Yann Lecun said on Twitter:

1. FAIR's mission is to develop human-level AI assistants that can understand the world, perceive, remember, reason, plan, and act. In the not-too-distant future, all of our interactions with the digital world will be connected by AI through smart glasses and other devices.

2. To accelerate progress, FAIR is now a sister organization to Genai, the AI product division.

3. At the same time, Meta is building a huge computing infrastructure to support the research and development of artificial intelligence.

4. We are committed to open research and open-source AI platforms (yes, llama-3 is coming!). ）

The application process for the award is based on a search process that tracks and tracks hundreds of AI companies in Switzerland and beyond. Based on this data, a number of scientists, entrepreneurs, and other leaders in the field are rated for impact according to an established catalog of criteria.

The winner of the 2021 award is Fran Ois Cholle, creator of the deep learning framework KERAS, who currently works at Google.

The winner of the 2022 award is Demis Hassabis, co-founder and CEO of Deepmind.
