Meet the 13-year-old tech prodigy working on AI
Tanmay Bakshi fell in love with computers at five, released his first iPhone app at nine, and now at just 13 years old is working with IBM on artificial intelligence. The Canadian teen has become a global force in programming and commands more than 20,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel that teaches computer coding. He is currently in Australia for the IBM Watson Summit, which brings together experts in artificial intelligence to discuss how the technology can help people and businesses in the future. "If you think about it, really anything would fascinate a five-year-old, especially a computer," Tanmay told News Breakfast. "Just looking at the colours change on screen or even displaying my name on screen, whatever it might be, as a five-year-old that really fascinated me."
