How Marvin Minsky revolutionized artificial intelligence ( video)

Pioneer of artificial intelligence, mathematician, and avid pianist Marvin Minsky died Sunday, Jan. 24. News of his death was announced by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab. With great great sadness, I have to report that Marvin Minsky died last night. The world has lost one of its greatest minds in science. Dr. Minsky's formal education was in the field of mathematics, earning his undergraduate from Harvard in 1950 and his PhD in 1954.
