King of AI.. Time Magazine & Arvind Krishna trying to reclaim it etc.... Also Yoshua Bengio, Yann LeCun and Geoffrey Hinton

Hey Readers, 

It's 4 AM..and I am blogging again. This article is stuck in my head by Times Magazine where Arvind Krishna mentioned about reclaiming the title of King of AI ( https://time.com/6167753/arvind-krishna-ibm-ceo-interview/ ). 

Believe me, I absolutely like Satya, Sundar & Arvind Krishna's leadership style (while Alteryx IPO has been successful, Dataiku & SAS are going for an IPO before Jan 2024, Alibaba Cloud continues to focus on AliGraph while Sundar Pichai talks about Edge computing & federated learning in his latest interview starting at 27:50 min - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuF8nv53JeI&t=1997s). Very pragmatic in their approach. But, in all the honesty & humble opinion, the king of AI will be the one who is

1. Able to bring paradigm shift in the market with new AI methods.. and probably bridge the gap between Research & Industry 

2. Is able to differentiate role of Responsible AI, Narrow AI, True AI & so on...

3. Bring continuous thought leadership in use cases (e.g. Amazon's Astra) 

4. Drive adoption not only in big businesses with million $ accounts but small businesses, start-ups, local banks, local businesses, small clinics where AI & data has never been thought about.. 

5. The one that governs the data & AI world like never before with wisdom & unique ability to navigate through any domain with flawless ability to invent & reinvent new methods continuously & industrialize older methods for optimum top-line & bottom-line while seamlessly talking about other technologies including AR/VR, Blockchain, Hardware, Chip Manufacturing and so on.. 

6. Who is also able to navigate through physics, quantum, Economics, Social Sciences fledgling branches like Econophysics, SocioPhysics, Swarm Intelligence, Cobotics etc. since AI is such an interdisciplinary field which is continuous evolving. 

7. Who is also able to understand the history of AI which is put together in many books including Genius Makers and so on.. 

One guy/org to rule them all at the same time.. Pretty fancy definition right?... 

Anyway coming back to 2018 debate/discussions between Yoshua Bengio, Yann LeCun and Geoffrey Hinton which is covered in Kdnuggets - https://www.kdnuggets.com/2017/10/rework-interview-yoshua-bengio-yann-lecun-geoffrey-hinton.html  

3 highlights -

1. Bengio used to call Geoff - Probability Police :) Fancy name 

2. When asked about what advice you’d share with young people working in AI now - Bengio says 'Listen to Geoff' Pretty Fancy answer..

3. Lecun talks about Bias & partnership in AI 

Adelyn Zhou does an amazing job of conducting an interview..
