Are We Witnessing the Next Evolution of Artificial Intelligence?

Geoffrey Hinton, a British computer scientist, who has spent his entire career pushing the field of artificial intelligence forward (AI), is a pioneer of Artificial Intelligence and the 2018 Turing Award, winner. After graduating from the University of Cambridge in 1970 with a BA in experimental psychology, Mr. Hinton joined the graduate program in artificial intelligence at the University of Edinburgh, with neural networks as his focus. He is currently split between Google Brain (the division dedicated to artificial intelligence research) and the University of Toronto, where he is working to provide artificial intelligence based on deep learning with intuition. For over 30 years, Geoffrey Hinton hovered at the edges of artificial intelligence research, an outsider clinging to a simple proposition: that computers could think like humans do -- using intuition rather than rules. I recently wrote an article about intuition, the ability to recognize similarities quickly.
