Jürgen Schmidhuber

German computer scientist and artificial intelligence researcher

Jürgen Schmidhuber belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.

The record lists Jürgen Schmidhuber as German computer scientist and artificial intelligence researcher.

Jürgen Schmidhuber was born at Munich in 1963. His recorded nationality is Germany. He was educated at Technical University of Munich.

Modern careers are conducted in public and at speed, with reputations formed and revised far faster than the work itself changes.

He worked as computer scientist, artificial intelligence researcher and university teacher.

His affiliations include Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence Research, Technical University of Munich and Università della Svizzera italiana.

His name is attached above all to work in the field of artificial intelligence, specifically artificial neural networks. Technology is judged by adoption: an invention nobody uses is a curiosity.

His recorded fields of work are artificial intelligence.

His work was formally recognised with the IEEE Neural Networks Pioneer Award.

That the work was done from Germany matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.

Jürgen Schmidhuber is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
