Author | Ear Holes Hit Three Gold
Hello, everyone. I am Sanjin. Today is another happy day. As shown in the title and the picture above, I found such a report called " the 100 most influential people in the AI field " when I was fishing at work today . List.
This shocked me
, I quickly pulled this list from beginning to end and then from end to beginning, Nani? Three golds, I didn't even make the list!
This list is definitely not authoritative
！
But after thinking about it for a while, I forgave this list, because fortunately it didn't expose me who had been low-key.
Now that they are all here, why not take a look at the specific big names on the list?
It can be seen that the top six influencers are: Elon Musk , OpenAI CEO Sam Altman , Facebook AI team leader Jerome Pesenti, Li Kaifu , Wu Enda , and Li Feifei .
These six are indeed the big ones, and four of them are all familiar faces, and to be fair, OpenAI's GPT-3 and DALL.E have indeed been maxed out in the past year. The AI circle is so influential, so looking at this list is not very watery?
Well, in fact, this list is launched by a website called " AI Newsletter ". After a brief check, it is probably a media blog site, and there are always updates on Twitter.
The following is the website's description of the list.
A simple translation probably means:
Those who only learn about artificial intelligence from science fiction may be surprised by a Guardian review article written by GPT-3.
AI said: "Artificial intelligence will not destroy mankind." "Trust me."
Whether you think this is reassuring or not, AI is now integrated into our daily lives. For example, Siri, Amazon, and Facebook rely on weak artificial intelligence focused on specific tasks.
And general artificial intelligence can do more. Artificial intelligence experts now predict that a general artificial intelligence that can match or surpass human intelligence is about to come out. (Sanjin I don't believe it) Even if we never reach this "singularity", artificial intelligence will change the way we do business, learn, drive and even create.
To help you keep up with these developments, we have compiled a diverse AI list of researchers, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and journalists who bring a unique perspective to artificial intelligence.
caution! It says that the people selected on the list cover four categories: researchers, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and journalists, so they are not all AI giants in academia.
However, this list does not say what criteria are used to select and rank names. Is it that the selection is artificial and the ranking is random?
I flipped through Twitter again and found that the order of the list is not random, but there are indeed 1 2 3 4 5 6 7...
Don't worry about its ranking, whether it is authoritative or not, and then read it down to recognize the big brothers and have fun. The following are the rankings 7-12:
I first saw Lecun, the 12th Turing Award winner! How could it be done? Lecun has no cards and only ranks 12th. How does this list rank? You should know that Lecun, in addition to academic influence, once quit Twitter and once again as a okay person, who will continue to be active on Twitter after a while
。
The seventh handsome guy Lex Fridman is an AI researcher at MIT. He focuses on deep learning and autonomous driving research. He is also doing an AI-related podcast. He interviewed many big names such as Wu Enda and Musk. Big picture.
The following are the rankings 13-18:
Yes, I at least recognize Francois Chollet, founder of Keras, Ian J. Goodfellow, inventor of GAN, Demis Hassabis, founder of DeepMind, and Jeff Dean, head of Google AI.
The following are the rankings 19-24:
Okay, three of these six people. I only know Sophia, the robot involved in fraud and deception. It was really well-known in the first two years, but TA hasn't been cold?
The following are the rankings 25-30:
Well, I only know Oriol Vinyals, the last of the three golds. He is the chief scientist of Google DeepMind. He was the leader of the development of AlphaStar that first defeated professional StarCraft players.
The following are the rankings 31~36:
Look who I found? It is Hinton, the father of deep learning and the winner of the Turing Award. Who believes that he is only ranked 31st? Do I believe it?
At this time, I found that there is an @超LINK under each of the big guy's avatars on this website, as shown in the red box below.
After clicking, I found that I jumped to the Twitter page. At this time, I can see that Hinton's Twitter followers are 106K.
At this moment, I suddenly thought of something. I quickly compared the number of fans of Francois Chollet, Ian J. Goodfellow, Demis Hassabis, and Jeff Dean above (because the four of them ranked very close, but how to judge who is ahead of whom? Later).
The case was solved, it turned out to be ranked according to the number of Twitter followers. . .
Co-author I left this speculation for a long time? Is this statistical standard a bit too trivial?
I wanted to verify my conjecture, so I slipped and slid and turned over a hundred big names, but I didn’t see the Turing Award winner.
Yoshua Bengio and many influential bigwigs such as Yang Qiang, Zhou Zhihua, Yan Shuicheng, He Yuming, etc., because they did not open Twitter at all, I suddenly felt a dull feeling, I thought it would involve complex indicators such as paper citations. , You told me that you just counted the number of Twitter followers? ? ?
So should this list be called "The 100 AI Characters with the Most Fans on Twitter" more appropriate?
At this time, I looked back at Sanjin to see how many fans the most influential Musk has.
Good guy, there are more than 42 million fans, worthy of the Silicon Valley Iron Man, in front of this number of fans, it turns out...
The remaining list is still listed below for everyone to check on their own. Maybe the number of fans also represents influence to some extent.
It is recommended that we make a list of "The 100 AI Characters with the Most Fans on Weibo/ Zhihu". If you are interested in this, please contact Sanjin (please add WeChat aitechreview).
Finally, if you want to seriously understand the influence of academic figures, welcome one-click Google Scholar or Thomson Reuters high quotes.
