AI Avant-Garde: 3 Pioneering Works That Revolutionised The Field

Modern-day AI is a culmination of weird ideas of stalwarts spread over centuries. The year 2021 especially is special in this regard as it also happens to be the 375th birth anniversary of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, the 90th anniversary of Kurt Goedel's 1931 groundbreaking paper, and the 80th anniversary of Konrad Zuse's seminal work. These works laid the foundations for modern-day AI and its algorithms. The significance of this year was first brought to light by Prof. Juergen Schmidhuber, who himself has been responsible for many groundbreaking works in the field of AI. Also known as the world's first computer scientist, Leibniz's work had a great impact on the field of computing.
