Michio Kaku
Michio Kaku is a renowned hands-on physicist and famed futurist. When Michio Kaku was eight years old, Albert Einstein died. Michio Kaku is a pioneer of string theory. As a child, Michio Kaku liked to watch cartoons like Flash Gordon, some portions of which were stolen by George Lucas, that became Star Wars movies in the later years. Michio Kaku, explains that if you understand physics, you understand, what’s possible scientifically in the coming centuries and decades. He likes to write all of his books on future, because it’s all about physics and science. Physicists invented television, radio, microwaves, RADAR, MRI Scans, and string theory. In today’s world, the physicists create the next-generation robotics in the field of artificial intelligence. Michio Kaku likes to theorize physics inventions, design the architecture of the physics products. Michio Kaku leaves the space exploration to the Air Force pilots who will create a settlement on Mars.

London-born, Geoffrey Hinton spent 30 years as Canada’s most influential thinker in the field of artificial intelligence. Hinton has pursued his degree from the University of Cambridge in the year of 1970. Hinton also has a PhD in artificial intelligence from University of Edinburgh in 1978. Hinton accepted the offer with CIFAR – Canadian Institute for the Advanced Research, where he was offered academic freedom. Hinton presented his neural networks paper at Tech conference in Toronto to Justin Trudeau. Hinton never sits down in conferences due to his bulging disc in spine. The disc pain increased intensively that, in 2005, Hinton completely stopped sitting at any conference in the globe. Hinton can tell you how to get from Toronto to Helsinki without sitting down for a minute. At that Tech conference in Toronto, Hinton presented his capsule networks, which has been considered as a great leap from Geoff in the recent times after his invention of backpropagation algorithm.

Dag Kittlaus, famously known for saying, “I’ll wear purple for the rest of my life.” Dag Kittlaus hasn’t visited the doctor in 5 years. When he visited the doctor in the next visit, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, while checking heart for plaque. Dag has worked closely with Steve Jobs, after Apple purchased Siri when he was 44-years old from Norway. Siri was co-founded by Dag with speech recognition and artificial intelligence. In 2012, Dag founded another company Viv, the global brain, where he has an ambition to enable everyone to talk to everything, not just limited to Apple’s iPhone. The deal of $200 million came through, when he received a call from Jobs to help launch the first true artificial intelligent virtual personal assistant for mobile devices processed through natural language processing.
